What we do!

Good Morning! 
Starting a blog to hopefully get SKT's name out to those who need it and hopefully connect families and share stories of our wonderful and not so wonderful experiences with our kids with special needs. 
So here goes!

Located in Findlay, Ohio, Special Kids Therapy, Inc. is a non-profit Section 501 (c)(3) charity funded by grants, individual gifts andfundraising events.  Ninety percent of the funds are used for the children. SKT is managed by an all volunteer staff and board of directors.
SKT clients include children with moderate to severe physical, mental and/or emotional challenges.
Children who have special health care needs sometimes do not have adequate insurance coverage for their traditional therapies.  For most of the alternative therapies such as;  animal, art, massage and water ( just to name a few) there is no insurance coverage.  There are few places for families with gaps in insurance, whether public or private, to turn to for funding. Because of limited funding, children may go without necessary therapies or alternative therapies/activities that enhance their quality of life. Many times families assume a large amount of debt to give their child a chance for joyful experiences.  SKT was founded because of those needs and is willing to help fill this void.
SKT will assist families with the purchase of special medical equipment. Such as, electrical wheelchairs and other mobility aides, communication devices and auditory equipment that is needed for inclusion in daily living but not covered by insurance.

SKT will consider all needs otherwise not met by other charities or insura
nce.


Hope this helps!
