About Us

​Special Kids, Incorporated (SKI) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization founded in 1990 by two frustrated, take-action parents: Agnes A. Johnson and Rose J. Ferguson. At the kitchen table, Agnes and Rose rolled out the plan for the SKI Project because they both had children with unique needs that were not being met by the systems designed to provide services to their child with disability. In their pursuit, they found they were not alone. They too were faced with the obstacles many parents continue to face when seeking services all children need to be successful in school and in the community in which they lived.

​Agnes and Rose desired to see all children live life to the fullest potential. Thus, the motivation to empower parents of children with disabilities to advocate for the rights of their children evolved into Special Kids, Incorporated.

​Special Kids, Incorporated (SKI) is still proudly serving Houston and the surrounding areas. The need for training, empowerment, and support to families of children with disabilities is just as great now than it was more than 25 years ago.
