Nonprofit agency serving families since 1968
Helping children reach their full potential
Our ECI program provides personalized therapy sessions to children from birth to 3 years old in their natural environment (home or daycare). Therapy services include but are not limited to therapy in communication, motor / coordination, and sensory processing.
Our Clinic Therapy Services program provides comprehensive evaluation and therapy services for children three to five years of age, and continues to serve them as they get older. Services includes individual and group therapy in communication, social skills, motor/coordination, and sensory processing.
The Family Education and Support (FES) program equips families and caregivers through education, workshops, support meetings and providing referrals to resources in the community. A library of developmental journals and books is also available to families through this service.
Recess provides parents with the opportunity to take a break. Parents are able to drop their child off and go out to dinner, run errands or just go take a nap– whatever it is that will help them recharge. This service is provided monthly at all three locations.
For children with developmental differences
OUR HISTORY
Fifty years ago, very few resources existed for parents of disabled children in Dallas County. With nowhere to turn for community-based services or help, families lacked support and their children had limited options in life. The Warren Center was created in 1968 and for decades, we have provided much-needed resources and care to children with disabilities and their families. Grassroots efforts and proven successes paved the way for an increase in community and parental awareness. As our organization experienced growth, we began adapting our programs to meet the changing needs of families.
Over the years, The Warren Center has given parents access to the resources their children needed, and more importantly, hope and support.

What parents & caregivers say about us
“Elias has improved a lot and now others besides his family can understand what he’s saying and he can even pronounce his tricky first and last names perfectly. We are so grateful for The Warren Center. It’s nice to have such a great resource right in our community and everyone at The Warren Center has been so helpful and so caring.”
Elias' mom
“Dylan was also diagnosed with two rare conditions: X-linked Chondrodysplasia Punctata 1 (CDPX1) and Beals.
When Dylan was a baby, I would cry quite a bit. The Warren Center was there on the good days and bad. Having a team coming in and giving me a path, helped me focus. Whatever his potential is, that’s what I want.”
Dylan’s mom
“My son Alex has been diagnosed with autism. At the beginning, my family and I didn’t know where to turn for help.
We searched online and found The Warren Center. Now he has confidence and interacts with people. He says more words every day, all thanks to his speech therapist. Thank you for having such an amazing staff.”
