This Place of Hope is Latham Centers
Welcome to our extraordinary school and treatment center. Since 1970, we’ve been working together with our students, residents, their families, and outstanding professionals to bring hope and change to young people and adults who face difficult challenges. From a residential school for children and community-based homes for adults to supported and shared living opportunities, Latham Centers provides comprehensive care and a path forward for children and adults with disabilities and complex needs.

Prader-Willi Specialists
Latham Centers is internationally renowned for our expertise and success in working with individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
PWS is a life-threatening genetic disorder that manifests with insatiable appetite, mild to moderate developmental delays, and emotional and behavioral problems. The syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 18,000 births and is found in all races and ethnic groups. There is no known cure for PWS.
Latham Centers’ environment is food-safe, and our staff members are dedicated, talented, and highly trained. Our unique programs encompass a children’s campus, a transitional home, eleven adult group residences, and supported community living options.
