Mission Statement
Capable Kids Foundation commits to the inclusion of each and every child and young adult with special needs with typically developing peers in all environments within the Rio Grande Valley.
About This Cause
Capable Kids Foundation was created in 2015 by a group of speech, physical and occupational therapists to help bridge the gap in inclusive services available to children and young adults with disabilities and their families within the Rio Grande Valley. Capable Kids (CK) consist of three primary programs: CK Sports, CK Social, and CK Impact, to address the lack of inclusive sporting and social opportunities for children and young adults within the RGV. Play is the right of every child, and creating a sense of belonging is the responsibility of every community. By mobilizing resources and aligning advocacy efforts, we can raise awareness, break down barriers, foster friendships, and unite communities across the Rio Grande Valley to achieve exceptional outcomes. Providing training, education, access to resources, and the opportunity to engage in inclusive social interactions makes a community stronger and more cohesive, allowing every individual the ability to build the empathy, confidence, and skills necessary to create a better tomorrow for all Texans. Studies show that people with disabilities perform better in inclusive environments, learning alongside their peers without disabilities, developing friendships, and cultivating executive functioning skills. Capable Kid’s multi-program and multi-pronged training program approaches draw upon the skills and lessons learned in each program. This culmination of knowledge provides opportunities to understand each other and participate in inclusive, equitable play and social experiences throughout all stages of development, thereby enhancing the quality of life for children, families, and our greater society. Since 2015, we have continued to grow and evolve, expanding our efforts to improve the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities within the RGV.\
