Children with Special Needs

What kind of children does Fraser serve?

Fraser has programs for all children — here are a few examples:

  • Children with autism, whose parents rely on Fraser to help their children learn, interact, express emotions, and reach their potentials.
  • Children with typical needs who are learning and playing in a diverse, inclusive child care setting with low student-teacher ratios.
  • Children with cognitive or developmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, who are learning lifelong skills of independence.
  • Children with speech and language disorders who come to Fraser for effective, ongoing therapies provided by caring, skilled professionals.
  • Children with emotional and behavioral disturbances caused by neurological vulnerabilities; traumatic experiences; exposure to drugs or alcohol; or disrupted attachments to adults.
  • Children with feeding and swallowing difficulties who receive services from a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists.

Fraser is one of the largest community resources serving children with more than 60 different disabilities and disorders. Many of the children Fraser serves have more than one disability. Our stories of success, achievement and hope are many.
