The Center for Placement and Day Care of Children and Youth with Developmental Disorders started operating in 1990, as a social institution that provides treatment, within the day care and residential placement, to children and young persons with various kinds of disorders –hearing impairment, mental retardation, and autism.

Around 440 children and young persons are placed in the Center. It employs around 110 special-education therapists of different specialties - oligophrenologists, surdoaudiologists, speech pathologists, re-educators of psychomotorics, and 6 teachers of physical education. The decision on admission of a child in the Center is brought by a team of experts, consisting of six psychologists, five speech pathologists, and six social workers, headed by the team coordinator.

A doctor specialist in neuropsychiatry, a general practitioner, 23 medical nurses, and 68 nursing attendants provide nursing, overall, and psychiatric health care. The administrative and technical service employs 38 workers.
