The Meyer Center
The Meyer Center for Special Children in Greenville, SC, is a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive services for children with developmental disabilities and their families in the Upstate of South Carolina. Established in 1959, the center aims to enhance the quality of life for children with a range of conditions, including autism, cerebral palsy, and other developmental delays.
The goal of the Meyer Center is for all students to bridge the gap between the child with a disability and their same-age typical peers. The Meyer Center is the only place in Upstate SC where preschool-age students with disabilities can receive combined education and therapies under one roof.
Traditional school-based services focus only on a child's success at school while the Meyer Center focuses on making a child successful for life. Providing intensive services at a young age can change the trajectory of a child's long-term potential in education, employment and independent living.
The Meyer Center remains dedicated to enriching the lives of children with disabilities so that they might reach their full potential, and Anderson Automotive Group is proud to be a partner of this organization.
