<div class="paragraph"><span style="font-size: medium;">Northwest Center was founded in 1965 by parents who refused to institutionalize their children with developmental disabilities or accept the prevailing notion that their children couldn't be taught. Banding together to form Northwest Center, they hired their own teachers to develop education programs targeted to special needs children.<br /><br />Our founders authored and won approval of civil rights legislation that opened the doors of Washington State schools to children with disabilities.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nwcenter.org/our-blog/it-took-citizens-who-cared-how-northwest-center-changed-the-world">House Bill (HB) 90 &ldquo;Education for All&rdquo;</a>&nbsp;was signed into law in 1971 and served as the model for national legislation,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_All_Handicapped_Children_Act" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Education for All Handicapped Children Act</a>&nbsp;of 1975.&nbsp;<span style="color: #2a2a2a;">View a&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.nwcenter.org/history-timeline.html">timeline</a><span style="color: #2a2a2a;">&nbsp;of our history.&nbsp;</span><br /><br />In 1967, just two years after our founding, Northwest Center entered into a partnership with Value Village. We collect clothing and household donations with The Big Blue Truck&trade; and The Blue Bin. Value Village buys that merchandise to sell in its stores, and the revenue funds our inclusive education and employment programs.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nwcenter.org/valuevillage.html">​Learn more about our 50 partnership for good.</a></span></div>
