Welcome to
Special Kids/Special Families!
We are the best Child Placement agency you could ask to work with!
*********************************************************************************************************
Special Kids/ Special Families is a non-profit organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Our vision for children and their families is realistic. Our staff is completely professional and our results are obvious. We are not just another CPA, we are there 24/7 providing services.
We provide support services to families raising youth with disabilities. Our agency noticed a lack of community support services helping to prevent out of home placement for these youth and young adults.
Special Kids/ Special Families, in collaboration with our Zach's Place Branch and our I-CAN branch, offers specialized respite care, foster care, family preservation services, day care, and an adult day program.
We are here to be part of the solution!
