Special Needs began in Bridgeport in 1955 as a therapy treatment program for children with cerebral palsy, and has evolved to become a major provider in Southern Connecticut of specialized lifelong education and therapeutic programs for children and adults with multiple developmental disabilities and special health care needs.
As a subsidiary of the St. Vincent's Health Services system since 1987, we extend the system's circle of care and support to individuals and their families challenged by special needs through all ages and stages of life.
Whenever possible, our programs are inclusive, offering individuals with and those without the opportunity to participate in activities side by side, learning from each other. This is especially true for our programs of early childhood education. In all of our programs, we are committed to assisting those with special needs to live fully and independently as each is able in the richness of community life.
The success of the Fairfield Christmas Tree Festival is made possible each year by the generous contributions from businesses and citizens as well as the dedication of the Festival's Board, committee, designers, and volunteers.
Thank you for your support of the Fairfield Christmas Tree Festival's "A Special Year...30 Years of Giving". Together we can turn the joy and magic of the Holiday Season into the promise of a better future for these special children and adults of our community.
Very Sincerely,
Christine Donahue-Brown
