The 15th Annual Special Kids Race was one for the books! 🏃‍♀️💙
Because of this incredible community, hundreds of runners, walkers, families, sponsors, and volunteers showed up to run, walk, and roll in support of children with special needs. Every step taken on race day helps provide life-changing therapy and nursing services for the kids and families we serve.
From the early morning start line to the final finishers, the energy, encouragement, and heart behind this event reminded us just how powerful a community can be when it comes together for kids.
To every runner, sponsor, volunteer, and vendor — thank you. You made this day possible, and your support is making a real difference in the lives of children right here in our community.
Watch the recap and celebrate the impact you made. 💙✨

Transitions can be one of the hardest parts of a child’s day.

The First–Then routine helps make transitions clearer and calmer by pairing a less-preferred task with something motivating.

Example:
First: Put on shoes
Then: Go outside to play

This approach helps children understand expectations, reduces power struggles, and builds trust by showing what comes next.

Simple tools like this can make everyday moments feel more manageable.

Because of you, race day was a success.

Our Course & Family Fun Run Sponsors and Mile Marker Sponsors, along with every race sponsor, helped create a day full of encouragement, joy, and meaningful connection for families served by Special Kids.

Your generosity made more than an event possible. It strengthened a community.

Thank you for showing up.

Every child deserves to be heard.

At Special Kids, we believe communication is connection. Our speech therapists support children as they learn their first words, build vocabulary, improve sound production, and grow in confidence.

From toddlers to young adults, every session is personalized, engaging, and rooted in evidence-based care. We meet each child where they are and help them use their voice in everyday life.

If you have concerns about your child’s speech or language development, we’re here to help.

Contact Special Kids to learn more about our Speech Therapy program.
