National Children's Center

The mission of National Children’s Center (NCC) is to provide a lifetime of opportunities for people in our community with developmental disabilities to live full, meaningful and productive lives.

NCC is a private, nonprofit agency that serves infants, children and adults with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, Down syndrome) in the Washington, DC Metro Region. Many people served also have mental health disorders, medical needs and/or physical disabilities. Services are provided through NCC's Early Intervention, School, Residential, Employment and Adult Day Programs.

Our vision for the future is that people with developmental disabilities will have every resource to learn, grow, work, live and thrive in our community, which fully includes and embraces them as valued and contributing members.
