History

45 Years & Counting

Since 1971 the Charles Lea Center has played an important role in the lives of thousands of residents in Upstate South Carolina and today it continues to meet the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or chronic medical conditions. The CLC grew from an organization in Spartanburg, S.C., geared towards helping children with disabilities to an organization committed to helping people of all ages with special needs throughout their life.

In 2018, we expanded our services into North Carolina, where we now have offices in Wilmington and Greenville.
