Programming includes S.T.A.R.S. inclusional preschool, a brand new daycare and recreation programs, such as HOOPS basketball, TOPSoccer, Bumper Bowling, Karate Kids and Social Skills. Families receive support through a Respite Care program, a Parent Support Group, and Social Services. The Center also offers a disability awareness program called "We're All Special(TM)"

History:
The Schreiber Center has provided services to children and adults with disabilities since 1936. The organization, originally known as the Society for Crippled Children and Adults, was formed by Edna Schreiber and other concerned community members. During the late 1980's, the organization began to focus its efforts on its preschool, as well as specialized pediatric therapy services for infants, children and adolescents. In October 1994, the organization disaffiliated from the Pennsylvania and National Easter Seal Societies in an effort to maintain local autonomy over its programs and resources.
