Sherwood Community Services

Our mission is to provide innovative, inclusive services to children and adults with disabilities in their communities.

Our vision is to help build inclusive communities where individuals of all abilities are able to contribute and participate in meaningful ways. 

Sherwood was started in 1957 by eight families of children with disabilities who were excluded from a public education. Together, they created Sherwood to prove that their children not only had the right, but the ability to learn. While society has advanced significantly in the past 60+ years, current education and employment statistics throughout our state and county are not reflective of a truly inclusive community for people with disabilities. Sherwood strives to create an inclusive society where children and adults with disabilities have the ability to live full, independent lives as a part of their community. 

Early Supports

Our Early Supports program provides therapy and education for infants and toddlers (birth to age three) who have developmental disabilities or are diagnosed with a medical condition known to place a child at risk for delays. The ultimate goal is to provide supports to help the child reach their developmental milestones.

Career & Community Connections 

Our Career & Community Connections program supports adults with disabilities who are seeking employment or community inclusion services. We believe that every individual with a disability should have an opportunity for meaningful employment that uses their abilities to the highest level and offers a competitive wage. A job leads to increased economic independence, community inclusion and greater self-worth.
