Support for Families of Children with Disabilities is a parent-run San Francisco-based nonprofit organization founded in 1982. They are supporting families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need as they face challenges.

The purpose of Support for Families is to ensure that families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need, and the providers who serve they have the knowledge, information, resource, and support to make informed choices that enhance children’s development and well-being. 

They helped various families to feel less isolated, helped them become better advocates for their child, and helped their child receive more appropriate services.

Their services had impacted large numbers of children and families.  Their programs including Family Resource Specialists, Support for Families provided support to hundreds of families.

Most of their staff members, volunteers, and board members are family members of children with disabilities.
