Lehmann School Philosophy
Lehmann School History
The Agency was founded in 1949 by a group of parents seeking therapy for their children with cerebral palsy. It was incorporated in 1952 as United Cerebral Palsy of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. In 1956, the Agency opened its first school for children from Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Eventually, in 1977, a school opened in Ocean County. It was located at the Sarah Miller Pre-School, in Brick, NJ, and in 1979, the Brick Presbyterian Church, before moving to the Lehmann Center in Lakewood in1988. The Lehmann Center was named for Dr. Otto Lehmann, a pioneer in providing services to people with disabilities.
