In
1961, two years
after its founding, Dallas Center, Inc.–then known as Angels, Inc.– was officially chartered by the State of
Texas as a private, not-for-profit, nondenominational school for the
children with developmental differences. Operating initially out of a farmhouse on Peavy
Road, Angels, Inc. served children ages six to
thirteen with developmental disabilities.
As its enrollment grew, Angels, Inc. moved in and out of several temporary
facilities. A permanent facility became a reality in 1976 with a donation
of a tract of land. The next year marked the expansion of services to
meet the needs of infants and young children. The addition of adult programs
soon followed.
Today, Dallas Center is committed to providing services to individuals in the least restrictive environment in order for them to realize their full potential and participate in the mainstream of life to the highest degree possible.Dallas Center works in compliance with: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Assisitive and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Aging and Disability Services, Texas Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Labor.
