Our mission is to empower and support families to raise all their children to reach their full potential. We encourage special families, professionals, and other community members to join in making this a reality.
Description:
The Association for Special Children and Families(ASCF) is a private, not for profit community organization established in 1978 by families of children with special needs. These needs include the full range of disabilities.
For school-age children, our Special Times Program provides recreational and social activities for special children such as; Music Therapy, Creative Arts, Gymnastics, Indoor Soccer and Basketball, Gymnastics, Social Skills, Discovery Saturday Science and Summer Camp Week. There is always something new in the works.
For the little ones (age 2 - 3), ASCF offers H.E.L.P.S. (Helping Early Language and Play Skills). The program offers socialization groups to develop the child's social and communication skills as well parent education and support.
ASCF provides Parent Trainings, Workshops and Support Groups. We offer a variety of Parent Support and Special Education Advocacy to families in Passaic County who have school-age children with disabilities.
