About A CHANCE TO GROW INC

A Chance To Grow is a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers brain-centered clinical, educational, school-based, and home services to children, youth, and adults whose brain function has been compromised by developmental delays, injury, trauma, or other challenges. Its model combines licensed occupational, speech, vision, audiology, and neuro-integrative therapies with early childhood programming and caregiver/educator training to support functional development and school readiness.

The organization operates an NAEYC-accredited early childhood Turnquist Child Enrichment Center, a Minnesota Learning Resource Center (S.M.A.R.T.) that trains educators and family child care providers, contract school-based therapy and third-party billing services for charter schools, and home-based personal care and waiver services. Recent impact reports document thousands of clinic and school therapy sessions, hundreds of educators trained, extensive PCA hours, and targeted supports for families facing substantial barriers to care.
