Building Bridges

Good Shepherd Center, established in 1963, was initially a pioneering school for children with disabilities, focusing on early educational therapy during a time when such services were scarce. Over the years, the Center has transformed into a multi-service organization that supports children and adults with and without disabilities, alongside their families. With a commitment to empowering individuals to lead exceptional lives, Good Shepherd Center offers a variety of programs including speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and development therapy, as well as respite services and child care. The organization also hosts community events that foster connection and support within the community. Generated from the website
