 Abstract:  The Achievement Centers for Children is a non-profit organization based in the Cleveland, Ohio, area helping to provide programs, services, and support to children with a wide array of physical, emotional, neurological, or developmental disabilities. It was founded as the Society for Crippled Children of Cuyahoga County on July 7, 1940. It was an offshoot of the Society for Crippled Children founded by Edgar Allen in Elyria, Ohio in 1919. The founders of the Cuyahoga County society included William B. Townsend, Tris Speaker, George Gund, and Frederick T. McGuire. The main goals of the Society for Crippled Children were to address needs of children with polio and cardiac disorders and to provide vocational training and recreational opportunities. The collection consists of advertisements, brochures, certificates, correspondence, flyers, forms, inventories, lists, magazine articles and clippings, minutes, newsletters, newspaper articles, newspaper clippings, notes, press releases, programs, scrapbooks, and sketches. The collection also includes approximately 2320 black and white photographs, 3016 color photographs, 3,460 slides, 466 negatives (mostly 35mm strips), 10 audio reel tapes, and 8 cassettes.
