All people have the right to develop to their fullest potential, and The Chimes Foundation is an organization that functions on that principle by providing support and training to those facing special obstacles like disability or illness. Centered around promoting individualism, self-worth, and dignity, Chimes was originally founded way back in 1947 in Maryland when a group of parents realized that educational and training opportunities were lacking for their children with mental retardation. Today the organization has expanded to international status and serves almost 10,000 people facing a variety of challenges.
