Welcome to the Kicklighter Resource Center, Inc.
Website!
Welcome to the Kicklighter Resource
Center, Inc.
Website. The
Kicklighter Resource
Center/Kicklighter Academy is the only local non-profit organization
dedicated
to serving the needs of children with autism and other developmental
disabilities under the age of 6 with a special program specifically
tailored to
that child’s learning style.
Offering
this type of one-on-one training specifically targets the
child’s learning
patterns. In 2008,
we are planning on
expanding this program to include a lottery funded pre-school and
possibly a
kindergarten classroom.
The Kicklighter
Resource
Center’s
Residential Program offers
and provides safe and affordable individual housing for adults with
mental and
physical disabilities. In
2008 we are
planning on expanding this program in Chatham, Effingham and Bryan
counties as
the needs of the community dictate.
Not only does our Center offer these
direct programs, but
also offers Advocacy and Community Education programs.
These programs include Learning
libraries,
Fetal Alcohol Awareness clinics and support groups.
With the help and support of the United
Way, individual donations,
community donations and
fund-raisers, the Kicklighter
Resource
Center
will continue to make a
difference in the lives of others.
For
over 50 years the dreams of Mrs. Lilla Mae Kicklighter have been a
reality and
with the continued support of the community they will continue to grow. Even though Mrs.
Kicklighter has passed on,
her dreams and aspirations are in the hearts and minds of each employee
at the Kicklighter
Resource
Center. She has left behind a
legacy that continues
to make a difference in the lives of others everyday.
For information about any of our programs
or to volunteer to
help, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Sincerely,
Robert Kozlowski
Executive Director
