Project SEARCH was established in 1996 by Erin Riehle, Director of the Emergency Department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Since then, Project SEARCH has grown from a single program site at Cincinnati Children's Hospital to more than 600 locations across 49 states and 11 countries. Project SEARCH is a special education transition program that trains and equips individuals with disabilities to perform complex jobs, and supports each student in finding meaningful work within the community.
