Wood Lane Special Needs Services
About Us
Since 1955, children, youth, and adult with developmental disabilities have counted on Wood Lane’s ability to provide excellent services and supports. Families created Wood Lane since no services were available before 1955. Since then, individuals and their families continue to be our focus in the provision of a wide array of services.
General Services

The Board provides educational, employment, recreation, sport, and other support services to children and adults of all ages, who have developmental disabilities. Similar to public schools, most services are provided at no cost and are supported by local, state, and federal funds.
