Achievments

Harwood Center consistently receives high marks from regulatory and funding agencies. Last year, the United Way’s program review demonstrated that 80% of Harwood’s children made progress in all areas of development and 98% improved overall.

In February 2006, Harwood graduated from the Grant Center’s Program for Non-Profit Excellence. As part of the inaugural class of seven agencies, Harwood participated in a rigorous, three-year program focusing on capacity building, increasing Harwood’s ability to carry out its mission, sustain its operations, adapt to changing times, and demonstrate accountability. 

Harwood Center is licensed by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health/Developmental Disabilities and the Tennessee Department of Human Services. Harwood is one of the few agencies in Shelby and surrounding counties with specialized programs for children under three with autism spectrum disorders.
