Chrestomathy, Inc. is a Minnesota non-profit organization committed to quality service provision to adults with developmental disabilities. Chrestomathy provides day training and habilitation services to a total of a little over 100 individuals throughout our Minneapolis, Eden Prairie and Burnsville locations. We specialize in serving program participants who are difficult to serve and need an enhanced staff ratio. Founded in 1985, our success can be attributed to our commitment to excellence, our commitment to working with individuals with challenging behaviors, and our positive, proactive approach to working with the individuals we serve.

Chrestomathy provides the behavioral support necessary to ensure success for clients with complex needs, while also providing these individuals with the opportunity to gain adaptive skills, pursue vocational activities and artistic endeavors which gives them the opportunity to become contributing members of society.

The name Chrestomathy was selected for the Greek derivative meanings, "chrestos" meaning useful and "mathien" meaning to learn. Thus, the concept of useful learning provides both a basic summary of the organizational name and philosophical ideology.
