About Special Reach
Special Reach Inc. is non-profit organization born in 2011 out of a desire to enrich the lives of parents and children with special needs in San Antonio and its surrounding communities. We started as a 100% volunteer organization passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of children with special needs and their families, now over 1,000 children attend our programs annually. We provide summer enrichment programs and other programs during the school year where children with special needs can have a fun and safe experience. Our year-round enrichment programs are carefully designed to ensure that every child has a positive experience and that their caregivers get a well-deserved respite. Our interactive Party Nights provide families with a unique twist to the traditional Parents' Night Out.
