We change the way the world defines and views disability by making profound, positive differences in people's lives everyday. In Rochester, NY we operate The Kessler Center, an approved private special education (853) school offering both residential (CRP) and day placements for students with developmental disabilities. The Kessler Center is an available option for school districts seeking an out-of-district placement for students who need an alternative educational path due to their developmental disabilities. The Kessler Center has broad expertise working with students across the entire range of developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, as well as with children who struggle with behavioral challenges. In addition to The Kessler Center, we operate a DayHab program and provide respite care.
