Today, Blick Clinic is a professional organization with over 192 employees committed to excellence in the provision of services to infants, children, adolescents, and adults  with disabilities, as well as to individuals with acute physical, emotional, or behavioral needs. The Clinic's mission is one of supporting families and enabling individuals to increase independence, restore previous functioning, and to improve the quality of their lives.
