Tammy Lynn Center

Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities serves nearly 400 children, adults, and families each year impacted by developmental disabilities. Our mission is to offer educational, residential and family support services to children and adults with special needs. The Center’s goal is to provide the individuals it serves the opportunity to maximize their abilities in a loving, nurturing environment.

Because of the unique nature of the Tammy Lynn Center, families are able to receive a variety of services, often through more than one Tammy Lynn program during the course of a person’s lifetime. No other non-profit in the area offers the number of special needs services we provide or serves a greater number of people.

Programs and Services

Residential Services
Tammy Lynn operates three community-based homes for both children and adults who need high-level nursing services, training and sensitive personal care 24 hours a day. We also have three group living homes that provide services for four individuals in each home. Homes are staffed 24 hours.

Day Services
Tammy Lynn provides specialized classroom instruction for children ages 3-22 along with before/after school care and summer programs. We also offer an inclusive preschool classroom for children with or without developmental disabilities, allowing for typically developing 3-5 year olds and their peers with disabilities to participate in activities together.

Early Childhood Intervention Services
Developmental therapy is provided to children from birth to five years who are at risk for developmental delays or have a specific diagnosis. Therapy is provided in the child’s home and support is given to families of children with special needs. Therapists work to strengthen skills and meet developmental milestones. 99.5% of the children supported in this program go into a regular public school setting and do not need continued highly individualized, specialized care.

Respite Care Program
Respite care provides temporary relief for families and caregivers from the direct care of individuals with developmental disabilities. Respite care reduces family stress, preserves the family unit and supports stability. In addition, these services can prevent the need for lengthy and costly out-of-home placement.
