About Us

Support for Families of Children with Disabilities

Support for Families of Children with Disabilities (SFCD)

Is a parent-run San Francisco-based nonprofit organization founded in 1982. We support families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need as they face challenges.

Our Vision

Families of children with disabilities will have the information, resources and support they need to make informed choices for their children.

Our Mission

The purpose of Support for Families is to ensure that families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need have the knowledge and support to make informed choices that enhance their children's development and well being. Through fostering partnership among families, professionals and the community our children can flourish. 

Most of our staff members, volunteers, and board members are, themselves, family members of children with disabilities.
