WELCOME! 

Loveland Center is a private non-profit corporation that provides day training, supported employment, supported living, and group home services for adults with developmental disabilities who reside in Sarasota and Charlotte counties.   Services are provided without regard to race, sex, creed, or national origin.  Loveland was established in 1962 by parents of children with disabilities.

Here in the picture to the right is Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of Special Olympics, with Loveland student Barbara Wilson.  Many of our students participate in Special Olympics games in the Venice and Sarasota area.  Mrs. Shriver made a huge difference in the lives of many people with developmental disabilities - find out how.
 

We believe that all people, regardless of disability, have inherent qualities which can benefit society.  We also feel that they will attain whatever goals they pursue when given the opportunity for self-expression.  Loveland currently serves about 120 students.  Every day over 50% of the student population spends time in the community at various locations.  All services focus on helping students acquire, maintain, and enhance the skills needed to live the most full and independent lifestyle possible.  Community involvement for the students is strongly promoted and encouraged.

We recognize students as adult citizens, regardless of disability, with the inherent right to: choose their own lifestyles, participate fully in community life, have friendships and relationships, and work or volunteer in the community as their abilities permit.

To our donors, Board of Directors, volunteers, staff, donors, and parents:  THANK YOU for helping to make Loveland Center the wonderful place it is today!
