Sammy’s House understands that caring for a child or teen with special needs is tough, and we’re here to serve the whole family. We operate an evening and weekend respite care program, designed to give parents and caregivers the necessary break they need to regroup. We also offer an after-school program, inclusive summer camp and adaptive teen camps, which allow parents and caregivers to keep a typical work schedule after school lets out and during the summer months.
As a member of the nonprofit community, we often partner with organizations that specialize in family support and are able to occasionally offer parents holiday sponsorships, access to food pantries, reclaimed furnishings and other household items and referrals for parent education classes.
We aim to reduce isolation in families with special needs children by providing opportunities for parents to find each other. We have several community events each year including an adaptive spring carnival, movies in the playground, potluck lunches and more!
