Welcome to the Special Needs Exchange
Buy. Sell. Wanted. Recycle
This is the yahoo group for SpecialChildExchange.org. The sole purpose of this group is helping one another in the form of recycling all forms of equipment and supplies that we use on a daily basis.
The SCE is a personal ministry by Steve Gay, a father of two. Steve was aware that many families with special needs children struggled daily, and many families fell through the cracks, neither qualifying for assistance nor having adequate private medical insurance that would cover the expensive equipment and daily supplies a child needed. In garages and basements were stored previously loved but outgrown wheelchairs, standers, walkers, and toilet chairs that other children needed. The problem was that parents, organizations, and professionals didn't know how to access it. That is how SCE began. The SCE originally started out as a group of underserved special needs parents from around the U.S. on a Yahoo list exchanging support, recycling outgrown durable medical equipment and sharing information on affordable and surplus supplies. Over time special education teachers, therapists, clinics started asking for help finding donated equipment to improve the lives of the children they worked with. As word spread and the listserv grew it became obvious that special needs children around the nation had unfulfilled basic needs, and that, parents joining together could help each other.
The SCE is based on very simple principles.
1. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
2. Give and it will be given to you.
These principles will always stay at the core of SCE.
