Special Children's Charities

Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities has been the driving force behind inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago.

Our high-quality athletic, educational and life-enriching programs inspire our participants to dream big, overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Our transformative programs champion the rights and potential of individuals, support their families and uplift communities.

Special Children’s Charities aims to transcend boundaries and redefine possibilities by serving as a symbol of empowerment and inclusivity within both the disability community and the City of Chicago.

We aspire to be recognized as the trusted leader in ensuring access to athletic, educational and life-enriching opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, fostering a culture where every individual feels valued and enabled to thrive.
