The demands on families of special needs children are tremendous. Exceptional Needs Network (ENN) was founded by parents of special needs children. Our goal is to find novel ways to help families of special needs children in the Tri-Valley region of the San Francisco Bay Area.

We offer camps, conferences, and classroom grants and are always looking for new ways to help meet this vital need in our community.
