Our Story
Special Neshamahs was founded by a couple with a special needs child who once found comfort and guidance from another family that understood their journey. Inspired by that support, they wanted to give back—to help other families just as they had been helped. They envisioned a community where parents could celebrate the small wins their children made, where encouragement was shared freely, and where no one had to walk the journey alone.
Their mission grew into helping educate parents so they could support their children to the best of their abilities and knowledge, while also being there emotionally for one another. Today, Special Neshamahs stands as a community of families lifting each other up—learning together, cheering each other on, and finding strength in every shared experience.
