Wyoming Valley Children's Association is a non profit agency serving local children and their families. Our primary mission is to provide therapy and early childhood education for children, age five or younger, who demonstrate developmental and neurological disabilities.
Early Intervention is crucial in the lives of children who have developmental delays. When a child's special needs are identified early through diagnostic testing, appropriate intervention can help the child to overcome many of those limitations.
WVCA's team of child development specialists works in partnership with families to maximize a child's potential and address the child's developmental needs and strengths. Through physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, vision services, specialized preschool programs (some of which are Montessori-based), home-based programs and a host of other programs and services, WVCA helps young children to improve their skills, gain confidence and develop kindergarten readiness skills.
WVCA evaluates and treats children who have the following developmental disorders: Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida, Developmental Delay, Visual Impairment, Speech/Language Delay, Mental Retardation, Seizure Disorders, Gross Motor Delays and any other condition or syndrome which delays a child's physical or neurological development.
Wyoming Valley Children's Association has been serving children in Luzerne County and Wyoming County since 1924 (formerly known as Wyoming Valley Crippled Children's Association). WVCA is certified by the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) and is a member agency of the United Way of Wyoming Valley.
