Kennedy Child Development Center, DC

The Kennedy School A program of Catholic Charities Developmental Disabilities Services The Kennedy School is a private day school educating children, adolescents and young adults ages 5 to 22 with a primary diagnosis of intellectual disability. We serve students referred from the D.C. public school system who are in need of a more focused and specialized learning environment. In addition to an intellectual disability, our students may exhibit multiple needs, including speech and language disorders, emotional disorders, and fine and gross motor issues. Our students receive academic, transitional and therapeutic services that foster independence and lifelong learning. Services for Children and Teens Among the most vulnerable living in the Washington region are children and adolescents. We recognize and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow and learn through a loving childhood, that family is the most important key to success and that it takes a community to raise a child.
