Stop by The Elaine Clark Center Booth
When you visit our booth, you can get to know The Elaine Clark Center and the families, children, and young adults we are proud to serve. Since 1969, our organization has been committed to creating inclusive opportunities and individualized support for people with developmental disabilities.
We offer a continuum of care that grows alongside the people and families who rely on us. Our programs include inclusive child development, early intervention, out-of-school enrichment, specialized education through Heart of Hope Academy, and life-skills programming for young adults through ECC Life. We also provide therapeutic intervention, pediatric nursing, social services, and scholarship support that help families access the care they need.
For many local families, navigating disability services for children can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to offer a welcoming starting point, thoughtful guidance, and programs designed around each individual’s strengths and needs.
Building an Inclusive Community Together
Our work is possible because of a community that believes every child and young adult deserves the chance to learn, connect, and thrive. Events like Taste of Chamblee bring together neighbors, local businesses, nonprofits, and advocates who care deeply about the future of our city.
At The Elaine Clark Center, inclusion is more than a program feature. It is a daily commitment to creating spaces where children, students, and young adults with disabilities are seen, supported, and encouraged to participate fully in their communities. We are grateful to be part of Chamblee and the larger Metro Atlanta network of families and supporters who share that commitment.
Learn About Programs for Every Stage
Visitors to our booth can learn more about the range of programs available through The Elaine Clark Center. Our inclusive child development program serves infants and young children, offering early learning experiences with integrated therapeutic support. Families looking for early intervention in Atlanta can learn how individualized care, developmental support, and collaboration with caregivers can make a meaningful difference during the early years.
We also serve school-age children through after-school, school-break, and summer programming. Heart of Hope Academy provides a supportive K–12 educational environment for students with special needs, while ECC Life supports young adults ages 22 to 30 as they build practical life skills, confidence, independence, and connections in the community.
Every family’s journey looks different. We welcome the chance to explain how our services may support a child, student, or young adult at a particular stage of life.
Ways to Get Involved
Taste of Chamblee is also a wonderful opportunity for community members to discover ways to support our mission. Whether you are interested in volunteering, making a donation, becoming a corporate partner, or simply sharing our work with someone who may need support, every connection matters.
Community advocates help us expand access to special needs programs in the Atlanta area and ensure that more families know they are not alone. Your support can help strengthen scholarships, inclusive programming, therapeutic services, and opportunities for children and young adults with developmental disabilities.
