Ways to Give 

You can make a difference in the life of a child. Your support will have a positive impact on the children enrolled in three of Special Children, Inc.’s programs, Mamie O. Stookey Early Childhood School, P.R.I.M.E., and The P.R.I.M.E./Care Inclusive Play Center. Your support will provide education and therapy so the children will develop to their potential, enjoy healthy relationships with their family and peers, and eventually become full participants in their communities when they reach adulthood. You have a variety of options for helping the children:
