As a worldwide center for children with special needs, ours is a global community and often our reach extends beyond the borders of the Heartspring campus.

Through our website and new technology initiatives, we are able to change thousands of lives around the world.

 Zoe's mom Kandi is grateful that Heartspring extended its services into the community through the Target Early Literacy Screening Project. “Because Heartspring does outreach programs, it catches the people that might fall through the cracks. I probably wouldn’t have come in for an evaluation on my own because I could always understand her as a mother." Learn more about Zoe. |

Many employers offer the option of charitable giving through payroll deductions to their employees. Employees designate an amount to be deducted from each paycheck and choose an approved charity to receive their donation. Contact your personnel department to see if this option is available where you work. Learn more about Workplace Giving Programs. |

 Recently we provided assistance, evaluations, consultations and trainings to children and parents from Albania, Russia, New Guinea and Bangladesh expanding our aid to more countries around the world. At the same time, we value the programs and support we are able to offer locally with the help of corporations, pediatricians and partnerships. Through outreach we can touch more lives in more places, furthering our mission of helping all children with special needs.
