Texas Special Kids
Texas' Special Kids is a 501 C (3) Non-profit ministry organization whose mission is to serve families who have children with special educational and/or developmental concerns. As a non-profit ministry organization, Texas' Special Kids is uniquely equipped to meet the needs of the special needs community. We have experience as home educators, professional public educators, and professional special education educators. Personal application of our professional expertise came through our own special needs child who put us on the other side. His growth and development to where he is today are attributed to the nurturing environment of home education, resources of the local public school and state supported services. This difficult experience has equipped us with the tools to assist and meet the needs of families who struggle as we have.
