Frazer Center is tucked away on 39 acres of old-growth forest in the heart of Atlanta. Once the estate of Cator Woolford, founder of the company now known as Equifax, these lovely grounds include the beautiful Cator Woolford Gardens .
Renamed REACH in 1989 and the Frazer Center in 1999, the vision to offer research-based education, vocational support, and therapeutic intervention to children and adults with developmental disabilities remains intact. Fostering inclusive communities is the heart of Frazer’s mission.
In 1948, Anne Lane was searching for a program for her daughter Anita, who had cerebral palsy. Best practices of the day recommended institutionalization. Wanting more opportunity for her daughter, Anne Lane joined forces with her friend and civic leader Rebecca Frazer to create the Cerebral Palsy Center in 1949 in the basement of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Peachtree Street. Eventually the Frazers and Lanes acquired the former estate of Cator Woolford (founder of the Retail Credit Company, now Equifax), 39 acres located in Lake Claire/Druid Hills.

October's Volunteer Saturday brought a great mix of new and returning volunteers into Frazer Forest! 🌳 A big thank-you to volunteers from the Junior League of Atlanta, Emory University's Alpha Phi Omega, and Amka Terra, along with the individual volunteers who joined us, including many familiar faces who return month after month. Together, they worked to remove non-native plants like English ivy and liriope. We're grateful to @treesatlanta for their continued partnership and guidance in the long-term restoration of our forest. This special place is an important part of daily life at Frazer Center and a treasured green space for our neighbors. Restoring and protecting it takes ongoing work and many helping hands. Thank you to everyone who spent their Saturday morning with us. We're grateful for your time and commitment! @amkaterra @jlatlanta @emory_apo #FrazerCenter #VolunteerSaturday #TreesAtlanta #AtlantaVolunteers #ForestRestoration #FrazerForest #AtlantaNonprofits

Mark your calendars! We are less than a month away from PTAC’s annual Fall Festival. Sunday, Nov. 8 from 2-5pm at our very own Cator Woolford Gardens! There are many fall festivals popping up around the city, but this one is designed specifically with the littlest ones in mind—with sensory play, arts and crafts, face-painting, music, zen zone, and more for infants through preschoolers, and activities inclusive of children of all abilities. We will also have a silent auction and offer beer and wine for adults for a $5 suggested donation. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000. We are well on our way but need your help to get there. Fall Fest serves as PTAC’s (Parent-Teacher Action Committee) primary fundraiser for the 2026-2027 school year. We rely heavily on fundraising to help make our school the exceptional center that it is! Whether it’s Teacher + Staff Appreciation Week or events to bring Frazer families together, Frazer’s PTAC aims to recognize and support the hard-working teachers and staff who make this place so wonderful. Help by buying tickets to attend, inviting friends, joining the Host Committee (Parent Sponsorship), supporting with a donation (Venmo @TFC-PTAC), or having your employer match your individual donation. We can’t do it without you! #FrazerFallFest #InclusionMatters

Cowboy hats, line dancing, good food, and a passel of fun! 🤠💚 Frazer’s annual dance brought together our adult participants, families, friends, and Direct Support Professionals for an evening that was very Frazer. Our DSPs helped make it happen, from planning and setting up to decorating hats and, of course, getting everyone out on the dance floor. The connections you see in moments like these are part of everyday life at Frazer. As Sandra Reese puts it, “Being a DSP is really about relationships.” And sometimes those relationships include leading the Electric Slide. 😄 #DirectSupportProfessionals #InclusionMatters #FrazerCenter

Yoga in the Gardens returns this Sunday! 🌿 Join us October 4 from 8:30–9:30 a.m. for a donation-based, all-levels class on the lawn at Cator Woolford Gardens.

We have two Frazer team members to celebrate! 💚 During Direct Support Professional Recognition Week, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities recognized Sandra Reese as one of just four DSP Spotlight Winners from across Georgia. June Wilson was also recognized as one of 18 DSP Honorable Mentions statewide. Sandra and June bring decades of combined experience at Frazer. They get to know each adult participant they support, show up for them every day, and are deeply valued members of the Frazer community. We’re so glad to see their work recognized across Georgia. Congratulations, Sandra and June! 🎉 Thank you, @gadbhdd!
