History
Sherwood was founded in 1957 by eight families of children with disabilities who were excluded from a public education. They set out to not only prove that they had the right but also the ability to learn. The organization quickly grew from that original class of eight children as other parents throughout the county asked for educational services for their own children with disabilities. The agency incorporated as a nonprofit in 1963. It began serving very young children with multiple disabilities and a work program was started for adults with disabilities. As public schools opened their doors to more school-age children, Sherwood focused increasingly on early intervention services for kids from birth –to – three and on adult employment. Sherwood provides services throughout Snohomish, Skagit, Island and San Juan Counties.

So great to work in a county that is so committed to the work we do!

Earlier this week, the Skagit County Commissioners signed a proclamation to recognize and commemorate the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

The Skagit County Developmental Disabilities Program team, along with the supported employment providers in the county—Chinook Enterprises, Sherwood Community Services, and Work Opportunities—joined to celebrate.

Skagit County has over 100 people in supported employment working throughout the County, and those workers earned over $940,000 in wages last year!

We are proud to celebrate the contributions of workers with disabilities and are dedicated to fostering a community that supports opportunity, participation, and self-sufficiency.

Sherwood Community Services provides a menu of services that are tailored to individual need History The precursor to Sherwood was established in 1957 as the Re****ed Children’s Center, and it served children who were excluded from public schools because of their cognitive disabilities. The organization quickly grew from that original class of eight children as other parents throughout the county asked for educational services for their children. The agency incorporated as a nonprofit in 1963. It began serving very young children with multiple disabilities and a work program was started for adults with disabilities.
