Our Mission

Smiles for Special Needs, LLC provides personalized support and services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We have supported
ages 4-50+ throughout Arizona since 2010 (15 years). Smiles for Special Needs is dedicated to helping each member achieve their personal goals while providing dignity and respect. Whether it’s learning daily living skills, building meaningful relationships or engaging with the community, we empower individuals to grow in confidence and ability. Smiles for Special Needs is always working to foster greater independence and a fulfilling life in all of our members. It is part of our mission to provide needed care and support to the families of all of our members. 

​Starting in 2026, we plan to bring new enrichment activities (art, music, gardening, other entrepreneurial/STEM activities) to all of our members. In addition, since this new organization is a not for profit, we are able to accept
donations. If you are able, we
would be grateful for any monetary and tax-deductible donations you can
provide. We could not fulfill our mission without your generous support.
