Mission Statement
Special Need Solutions creates quality, inexpensive, custom made furniture, clothing, devices, and equipment that help individuals with special needs progress physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Our goal is to help make it possible for children and adults with special needs to participate as fully as possible in their lives.
About This Cause
The vast majority of folks with disabilities require specialized equipment for sitting, mobility, making their needs known, eating, and emotional regulation. When commercially available, this equipment is invariably expensive. The ongoing financial burden already placed upon a family caring for a child with disabilities is undeniable. For those who have limited means or are without insurance, and for those whose insurance will not pay for the needed equipment, cost is an often insurmountable barrier. Because design and fabrication are done by our skilled volunteers, we are able to provide these essential supports for only the cost of the materials. Furthermore, we are able to design and make adaptive equipment not commercially available. Indeed, almost everything we make is custom designed to the specific physical and therapeutic needs of the individual. Our "cost of materials" approach is made possible by our excellent volunteers. They are all experienced with wood working, sewing, and electronics. Furthermore, some of our volunteers have decades of professional experience working with disabilities. Finally, our work is done as a collaboration between the individuals, their families, and the occupational therapists, physical therapists, and teachers who work with them.
