Waban - Making a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities for over 40 years
 

Welcome to Waban Projects

 For over 40 years, Waban has been providing high quality services to children and adults with developmental disabilities. What started out as a summer camp (Camp Waban) where people with special needs could learn to swim and enjoy lakefront recreational activities has blossomed into a community based organization with a broad offering of comprehensive services that reach throughout York County.

Children having fun with bubblesOur programs serve children and adults of all ages who have developmental disabilities.

Today, the programs at Waban continue to serve children and adults with special needs. All the work that we do is guided by the principles of respect for the individual, normalization, integration, and self-empowerment in the least restrictive environment. We take pride in the thoroughness of our program design, the exceptionally well maintained and equipped facilities, the high caliber and dedication of our staff, and the success of the children and adults that we support. At Waban, we make a difference.

A Mother’s Thanks

"Waban has played a key role in turning my son’s life around.  When Andy entered Waban at 3 ½, his prospects for a normal life were very dim.  Waban sparked a curiosity and fueled a fire in Andy.  The curriculum, speech, occupational, and physical therapy were important in his development, but the integral elements were the teacher and teacher’s assistants who showered Andy with love and encouragement.  You have fostered in him an unbridled curiosity for life, a realization that there is progress if you work hard enough and have a true understanding of compassion.  You have given a little boy wings to fly."

-Louise, Andy’s mother
