Located in Findlay, Ohio, Special Kids Therapy,
Inc. is a non-profit Section 501 (c)(3) charity
funded by grants,
individual gifts and
fundraising 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 insurance.
"All children deserve the
chance to feel good about themselves
Every special needs child has a gift and ability
They deserve the opportunity to enhance that
gift and ability."
