WELCOME

Welcome to the Special Kids Foundation Website.

Mission

Supporting organizations that treat, educate or foster inclusion for children with developmental disabilities.

Helping Agencies Make A Difference

Imagine being nine years old and never having spoken a full sentence. Or, a child left behind when his or her brothers and sisters go off to overnight camp.

These and many other children have been given the chance to do what other children take for granted because they have the support of the Special Kids Foundation. Since our inception we have given more than $2 million dollars in grants to agencies that believe as we do; that every child deserves the opportunity to grow and develop in his or her own unique way.

The children we support will require a great deal of treatment and care throughout their lives. Our belief is that they should have complete access to treatment and education as early as possible, and their caregivers must be aware of all available resources. With special education, speech and physical therapy, integrated respite, camp, theater, vocational training and assistive technology these children can grow to be healthy, productive and more independent adults.
