TCH The Centers for Habilitation is a nonprofit organization based in Tempe, Arizona, founded in 1967 by parents seeking alternatives to institutional care for their children with disabilities. Its mission is to create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to gain skills, participate in the community, and live as independently as possible. The organization works with a range of conditions, including Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and cognitive delays, and about 58% of clients have mobility impairments that require assistive devices such as wheelchairs or walkers. TCH's programs address daily living, communication, mobility, and cognitive challenges to support participation in everyday life and reduce isolation. It operates within the nonprofit habilitation sector, focusing on community integration and independence for people with disabilities. In April 2024, Thunderbirds Charities awarded a grant to TCH AZ to support its programs, reflecting a recent development in its community partnerships.
