The Emily Thomas Foundation is an organization that focuses on improving the lives of special needs children and their families. Children with special needs include those with disabilities and medical conditions. We want to help children, regardless of condition and needs. Some of the conditions may include, but will not be limited to children with Heart Defects, Lung Issues, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Spatial Integration, Cerebral Palsy, Cancer, Mowat Wilson Syndrome, Down syndrome and Aspergers.

Our goal is to provide children with the items that they require for their educational and medical needs that are not currently covered by their insurance, nor provided by a community program.

Research shows that when children are provided the adequate tools, matching their unique skills and ability, they can fully enhance their cognitive, social and emotional development. Early and continuous interventions are powerful tools enabling children with special needs to live a more full and more active life.

The need for these tools is even more crucial among children with disabilities and medical conditions (special needs). Many insurance companies do not cover these items, or the intensive therapy needed by these children.

The fear that many parents and caregivers have is that their children may be missing opportunities that hinder their child’s future success.
Our goal is to help parents and/or guardians obtain these tools when they are unable to do it on their own.

The Emily Thomas Foundation is a non-profit organization. The foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code in the state of Georgia.
