Top Story: Founder Reflections
My daughter Naida was sort of alone in the world when she was three or four, so I put an ad in the paper asking for a playmate for her. Someone called about a play group in a nearby neighborhood and we joined it. That group developed into Central School for Retarded Children, as we called it in those days. We started out in the basement of Temple De Hirsh.
That was the beginning; ultimately all of us joined the various groups together and developed Northwest Center.”
