WHAT WE DO
Everyone is somebody's child. Yes, we are Special Kids Connect but our support for individuals with special needs and their families doesn't end when a child becomes a legal adult. We provide a lifetime of support and are here when families needs us most.
Every individual is special. Every child and adult, regardless of their abilities, has the right to access resources that give them the opportunity to develop to their full potential.
Every individual has a unique set of needs. The diagnosis of a disability does not define a person or his/her personality, likes, dislikes, aptitude and ability to develop and achieve.
Parents are the best advocates for their young children. Until a child is old enough to advocate for him/herself, parents are in the best position to determine what is best for them.
Planning should be person-centered. Teens and adults with disabilities should be at the center of all discussions regarding their future. Special Kids Connect advocates for a process-oriented approach which empowers people to plan their lives, find their voices, and work toward reaching their goals.
Everyone should feel welcomed and included in our community. A disability should not keep someone, or that person's family, from feeling like they belong. Whether it's in a recreational program, a physician's office, an elementary school classroom, or in the neighborhood grocery store, inclusion is everyone's right.
