Rauch is proud of its grassroots heritage in southern Indiana. Formed in 1953 by a dedicated group of parents who wanted a quality educational experience for their children with disabilities, our services began in a church basement with a volunteer teacher. Rauch was the first school for children with developmental disabilities in the state of Indiana. We were also the first entity in Southern Indiana to be funded by the WHAS Crusade for Children. Rabbi Joseph Rauch, an original Crusade panelist, was instrumental in helping us obtain funding in 1958 for our Charlestown Road site. Today, Rauch directly serves approximately 1,000 children, adults, and families from six sites. Service counties in Indiana include Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson; counties in Kentucky include Jefferson and Oldham (Kentucky is only served by Interpreting Services). Rauch meets the Better Business Bureau Standards for Charitable Accountability, and is proud to be affiliated with the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Metro United Way and the WHAS Crusade for Children, and to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
