Support Heartspring programs for children with special needs!

Our goal is to reach as many children with disabilities as possible, giving each child a chance at a brighter future.

Heartspring's mission, in partnership with parents, professionals and the community, is to help children with special needs grow and learn on a path to a more independent life. It has been 75 years since Heartspring first began its mission of helping children with disabilities achieve their full potential. Since 1934 Heartspring has been one of the nation’s top facilities serving children with special needs. Originating in Wichita, Heartspring has grown to help children across the nation and around the world. Heartspring experts have traveled to Europe and Asia, providing training to organizations that need our help. Teachers from other countries have looked to Heartspring and Wichita for education as they strive to better the lives of children in all corners of the globe – truly making Heartspring a worldwide center for children with special needs. Heartspring provides greater independence for children with disabilities through the Heartspring School, Heartspring Pediatric Services, the Heartspring Hearing Center, Comprehensive Consultation Services at Heartspring, Heartspring CARE Program and Heartspring World Reach.
