The L.C.C.C.S. Children's Development Center began as a project of the Williamsport Rotary Club in 1923. A vision to aid one young man with polio quickly grew to include 61 area children within the same year. With the cooperation of an orthopedic surgeon who traveled from Philadelphia to Williamsport every month and donations of beds and services by the Williamsport Hospital; Pennsylvania's first known orthopedic clinic was started. The Lycoming County Crippled Children's Society, Inc. received its charter in 1932. In the seven decades since then, services have been designed to meet the ever-changing needs within the community. We have gone from meeting the needs of children afflicted with polio in the 1930's through an entire spectrum of services that now includes improving the lives of children with a large variety of disabilities; including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorders. In response of those evolving needs, the Board
of Directors voted to change the agency's name to more effectively
reflect our role. On June 5, 1989, the Lycoming County Crippled
Children's Society officially became L.C.C.C.S. Children's Development
Center. Our efforts continue ……… 2008 BOARD OF DIRECTORS OFFICERS President - Dr. John F. Piper, Jr. BOARD MEMBERS Angela Alexander EMERITUS Robert T. Golder
