The Children’s Special Needs Network

 

About CSNN

The Children’s Special Needs Network (CSNN) is a non-profit organization based in Belton that assists families and professionals in providing services for children in Central Texas who are diagnosed with physical or psychological special needs.

The Network provides a wide range of direct services and connects families with medical, educational, and social service resources in their communities. It also serves as a conduit, advocating on behalf of children in need and calling on churches, health care providers, schools, and others to rally around some of the most needy members of our Central Texas communities.

The charitable organization was formed in 1990 to provide needed services to children regardless of diagnosis, condition, age, income, or residence.

Since the Fall of 2000, CSNN has received a grant from the Texas Department of State Health Services providing funds for the Executive Director and Outreach Coordinator for the Network to coordinate the activities and services provided. Office space has been donated free of charge by the Heart of Central Texas Independent Living Center (HOCTIL). These gifts facilitate the Children’s Special Needs Network being able to use almostall other donations for direct services for families of children with special needs.

Donated Funds Help CSNN Serve More Children

The Children’s Special Needs Network provides all of its services free of charge for families who have children with special needs. Funds donated to CSNN would assist in providing more services for more children and their families. They would assist in covering the cost of the conference and providing respite, equipment, and other services to many more children.
