THE DAY SCHOOL IS ONE OF ONLY 24 SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR ACCREDITATION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, 201 CHILDREN FROM 63 SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN EIGHT COUNTIES IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WERE ENROLLED IN THE DAY SCHOOL.THE WORKPLACE AT THE CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE IS A COMMUNITY OF MORE THAN 410 DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS. OUR EMPLOYEES TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR JOB, THEIR TEAM AND THEIR ORGANIZATION. BECAUSE OF THIS, OUR EMPLOYEES ARE OUR GREATEST ASSET, EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS BY CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND SHARE THEIR PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY AT CONFERENCES AND TRAININGS.

THE REACH OF THE CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE GOES FAR BEYOND ITS OWN WORK BY PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR OTHER LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO PROVIDE BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY BY SPONSORING LOCAL EVENTS. ADDITIONALLY, WE OFFER SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. OUR MOST NOTABLE SUMMER PROGRAM IS CAMP SUCCESS, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO HELP AT-RISK CHILDREN FACING HUGE BARRIERS INCLUDING NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, ECONOMIC CHALLENGES, FOSTER CARE SITUATIONS, AND HOMELESSNESS. CHILDREN CAN ATTEND THE CAMP WITH THEIR SIBLINGS AT NO COST TO THEM OR THEIR FAMILIES.THE CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE'S RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE BELIES THE SCOPE AND IMPACT OF OUR WORK. OUR MEDICAL, EDUCATION AND FAMILY SUPPORT COMPONENTS ARE INEXTRICABLY RELATED, THEREBY PROVIDING AN UNDUPLICATED, COMPREHENSIVE NETWORK OF SERVICES UNLIKE ANY OTHER PROVIDER. FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, WE HAVE CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
