ABOUT EXCENTIAExcentia is a nonprofit organization in Lancaster County that provides supports for

people with developmental needs and autism

throughout the lifespan. These services can start at birth with therapeutic and educational

programs for children and their families – some will use services for only a few months,

and others until public school services

take over. We also pick up where school services leave off with adult day services, independent living, employment supports, and residential options. It’s our goal to provide comprehensive supports for as little or as long as they are needed.

Excentia is here to partner with you in as

many ways as we can. For over 50 years, we have served children and adults with a

wide variety of developmental delays and

disabilities. We are firm believers in self-determination and person-centered planning. All of the service options provided by Excentia

are designed to encourage self-worth, build independence, and promote measurable

growth. It’s more than just taking people into a community setting - it’s about helping them become part of it.

OUR IMPACTExcentia uses a dynamic team approach

with individuals, families, friends, the

community, and Excentia staff. Everyone works to create a well-rounded schedule filled with social outings, volunteer projects, skills development, and recreational activities. Today you can see the people we support learning in preschools alongside other children with and without developmental needs,

volunteering in nursing homes, museums, and animal shelters throughout Lancaster County, as well as being gainfully employed with various businesses in the community.

At Excentia, it is all about relationships and

results. Relationships are the focus at every level of the organization, from the families and people we support, to our employees,

to the community that becomes a better

place to live.

“She’s really improved in her cooking skills. She was scared to use the stove when I first started. Now, she does it all herself. I’m just here to give prompts. She knows what she needs to do.” - Brandy

IN THEIR WORDS Thank you for hiring and retaining the best therapists. We were honored to share our son with them and consider them in the highest regard. – AMY

I’m glad I’m working because when I wasn’t, I was hanging out at the house all the time, so now I’m out doing things. I feel good because I know that I’m able do it and I don’t need anybody telling me that I have to do it. – RYAN

To see him happy, functioning, and believing ‘I can do anything,’ that makes me happy. He’s so much more confident and independent and grown up. – SANDY

This year my son has some spontaneous speech and is in kindergarten! I got to hear him say “love you!” We wouldn’t be where we are now without the solid base we got from Excentia. We are forever grateful. – ELISSA
