Great Circle provides advance residential treatment for children with autism, respite services, self-injury treatment, behavioral healthcare, foster care and a place for middle and upper school students at Hitchcock School who are not able to function in a traditional education setting.

We design the job around the priorities of the student, family and counselors which is unique in our field. They will finish the program with a sense of pride and  can to look back and see what they have been able to accomplish. These are students that others have given up on. We never will.  “

GREAT CIRCLE

Lee Biosolutions has expanded our community outreach program to include a wonderful organization called Great Circle. Lee Biosolutions contributed $10,000 in 2013 and volunteered for Great Circle this holiday season that helped the Edgewood Children's Home and Hitchcock School programs. These caring individuals specialize in helping children that are abused , are in foster care and  have varying degrees of Autism and  Asperger's Syndrome.  Washington University works closely them developing innovative learning methods .   You can find dedicated counselors and therapists  going to a  child's home or in the worst case scenarios the child is brought to Edgewood where they can stay for months for special treatment.  This year we sponsored Career Day for the Science Class and had them visit our facility. We are also currently developing an internship program for these students.   

Childrens Tumor Foundation

Imagine your child being diagnosed with a genetic disease that causes tumors to grow anywhere in the body called neurofibroatosis (NF) . Now imagine that you find out that he as NF2 and his tumors are in his brain and spinal column and he will require surgery after surgery. Imagine your child is only 10 years old when you find out. Its way too much for one family to go through and there are so many lives that are affected. There is an organization called Childrens Tumor Foundation that helps families families try and cope by providing support and resources . Lee Biosolutions, Inc became involved with CTF after hearing about a story of a boy named Jack who found out when he was 10 years old of this devastating disease.We will continue to support CTF and everything it has done to help these families cope through difficult times. Lee Biosolutions was a major sponsor for this Great fundraiser with Paper dolls Boutique this year. We need your continued support.

Churchill Center and School for Learning Disabilities

Churchill Center and School is a recognized leader in the field of learning disabilities. Educators work with bright students who struggle with reading and spelling due to learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD or a combination. The organization's highly skilled and talented teachers and staff create customized programs specific to each child's needs. In addition to demystifying learn disabilities, Churchill helps students succeed academically and transition into conventional educational settings. Despite above-average intelligence, a nurturing family, proper motivation, and normal hearing and vision, many fail to learn to read and write. Lee Biosolutions supports Churchills Scholarship program.

Terri's Tutors, a component of Churchill's Outreach Program, provides educational support and free tutoring to school age children who are experiencing learning problems as a result of cancer treatment. It is now generally accepted that central nervous system treatments for childhood cancer can result in significant cognitive impairments and learning problems. It was the dream of one of Churchill's former teachers, Terri Thornton, to combine her teaching expertise and the insight she gained through her own cancer experience, to tutor young cancer survivors.
