Tomorrow, October 17, 2026, The Elaine Clark Center will be at Taste of Chamblee—and we would love to see you there. Beginning at 3 p.m., our team will be ready to welcome neighbors, share information about our programs, and celebrate the inclusive community that makes Chamblee such a special place to call home.
Whether you are already part of our community or are meeting us for the first time, stop by the Elaine Clark Center booth to say hello. It is an opportunity to connect with our team, learn about the support we provide to children, families, and young adults, and enjoy an afternoon in Chamblee alongside fellow community members.
A Community Event Worth Celebrating
Taste of Chamblee brings people together around the energy, local spirit, and connections that help our city thrive. For The Elaine Clark Center, being part of this event is about more than setting up a booth. It is a chance to be present in the community we serve and to celebrate the families, supporters, advocates, volunteers, and partners who help make inclusive opportunities possible.
Since 1969, our organization has worked to ensure that children and young adults of all abilities can learn, grow, build relationships, and participate fully in their communities. Events like Taste of Chamblee create a welcoming space to introduce that work to more neighbors and strengthen the relationships that support it every day.
Meet the Team Behind Our Programs
When you visit our booth, you will have an opportunity to meet members of the Elaine Clark Center team. We are always grateful for the chance to share what we do, answer questions, and hear from families and community members.
Our work includes inclusive child development, early intervention, out-of-school enrichment, K–12 special education through Heart of Hope Academy, life-skills programming for young adults through ECC Life, therapeutic intervention, pediatric nursing, social services, and scholarship support. Each program is designed around individualized care, meaningful connections, and a family-centered approach.
Every family’s journey is unique. A conversation at our booth may be the first step toward learning about inclusive education services, discovering opportunities to volunteer, or finding ways to support disability services for children in Metro Atlanta. We look forward to meeting you wherever you are in that journey.
Learn More About Inclusive Support in Chamblee
Families searching for special needs programs in the Atlanta area often need support that fits more than one stage of life. The Elaine Clark Center offers a continuum of care that begins in infancy and extends through young adulthood. Our programs are built to provide individualized support while helping participants develop confidence, independence, friendships, and a sense of belonging.
For young children, an inclusive child development program can offer early learning alongside therapy-integrated support. For school-age students, Heart of Hope Academy provides a supportive K–12 educational experience with a functional curriculum. For young adults, ECC Life focuses on practical life skills, community-based learning, and opportunities for greater independence.
At Taste of Chamblee, our team can offer a helpful introduction to these programs and the values behind them. We believe inclusion benefits everyone, and we are proud to help create spaces where people of all abilities are welcomed, respected, and encouraged to reach their potential.
