History

 

In 1928, the Charleston Chapter of the Crippled Children’s Society was established to provide educational services for the orthopedically disabled. Not long after, the organization grew to serve children with a wide range of disabilities and special needs, eventually evolving into The Charles Webb Center that we know today. Named after Charles Webb, a well-known advocate in the disabilities and special needs community, the center has been affiliated with numerous organizations over the years.

In 1993, the center became a program of the Disabilities Board of Charleston County and moved from its previous location on Calhoun Street in historic Charleston to its current West Ashley location.
