Our Needs
The cost of providing essential services to a student at Chase's Place is approximately $50,000 annually. Given the significant expenses, many families with severely disabled students are unable to afford the tuition on their own. To support these families, Chase's Place offers a scholarship program funded by donations, which also helps cover the costs of therapy programs integrated into the students' daily routines.
Chase's Place is currently seeking financial support to meet several key needs:
Scholarship funding to assist families in affording the tuition.
Therapy program funding to continue offering essential therapeutic services like Speech, Occupational, Music, and Art.
General operating costs to maintain the quality of education and care provided.
These donations are crucial in ensuring that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, have access to the specialized care and education they need.
