Berkeley Citizens, Inc.

About Us

BCI began with FAMILY.

In 1980, a Berkeley County group of parents of children with a variety of disabilities and intellectual developmental delays organized a pre-school center in a local church basement to provide the best training and supports possible for their children.

The Mary K Center for Special Children opened with an initial enrollment of 21 preschoolers .

BCI now provides services to over 700 children, teens and adults in Berkeley County with a staff of over 250 employees.

Our Board of Directors and staff are people with family members who have disabilities, or individuals interested in providing the best possible services for people with disabilities.

Our Executive Director has been with the agency for over 15 years, providing proven, consistent leadership.

The agency has grown since 1980, and although there is no cure for intellectual developmental disabilities, we continue to believe that there is hope for people who have the disability and their families that they can live a life with accomplishments and success when supported by organizations like ours.
