The mission of Care for Special Children is to help children with special needs thrive through compassion, advocacy, and resources. It’s also to give guidance and hope to parents and family members. Whether that’s setting up a child with integral services or even sending a pick me up self-care bag to reconnect, CARE is here for you, always.
Services defined by CARE.
Each service is formed around you, like a cozy blanket. You’re not a case number. And we don’t treat you like one!
