History
Simoneon Center became a 501 (c)(3) non-profit in 1981. Since 1975 we have worked with hundreds of children who are now leading successful, productive lives. Despite our longevity and rate of success with children and their families, it continues to be difficult for families to find us when their children are still very young, with children often receiving services late, after they enter the elementary school grades. Infants and toddlers have consistently made the fastest and greatest amounts of progress. We have always wanted to see the children at the youngest ages, as we can do more for them, regardless of their diagnosis or developmental delays.
