Dr. S. June Smith was a psychologist who gave many years of dedicated and innovative service to individuals with special needs in Lancaster County. Thanks to her hard work and persistence, many great programs are available throughout Lancaster County today.
In 1965, Dr. June helped establish preschool programs for children with special needs, which included an organization formerly known as the S. June Smith Center, which became part of Excentia in 2013.
Today, Excentia Human Services continues to honor her legacy by providing early intervention services to children. Dr. June retired in 1971 after 30 years as director of special pupil services for the former Lancaster County Public Schools, now the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13.
She passed away on April 25, 2001 at the age of 95.
