Our mission

Special Needs Network, Inc. (SNN) is a nonprofit grassroots organization responding to the crisis of autism and other developmental disabilities in underserved communities. We recognize the intersectionality of individuals with disabilities and that their fight for disability rights is inextricably tied to the fight for racial justice and the civil rights of all people.

About us

Special Needs Network works at the intersection of social justice and disability rights. SNN serves as a link between underserved communities and mainstream developmental disability organizations and governmental institutions, which often fail to address issues specific to these communities. SNN envisions a world where all marginalized people have opportunities to live full lives that honor their individual cultures, traditions, norms, and abilities.
