The Providence Child Center is a one-of-a-kind facility and a leader in caring for children with disabilities in Oregon. Whether it’s lending parents resource materials, training caregivers about specific disabilities or providing 24-hour skilled nursing care for young residents, the center’s unique combination of services enhances life for children with disabilities and their families.

Parents want the very best for their children, so it's natural for them to be concerned if a child misses a developmental milestone. Often, there is nothing to worry about; a child may simply need extra time or attention to “catch up” with peers. Sometimes, however, children do require more assistance. For some children an illness or injury may create a need for rehabilitation and specialized care. Community physicians and health care providers refer children to our program to help identify and treat these developmental concerns.
