Kids On The Go

Help Support Kids On The Go!

Kids On The Go is a pediatric nonprofit that relies on generous donations from sponsors to be able to provide therapy to special needs children during the school year and while they are on summer break from school. All Kids On The Go programs come at no cost to often already overburdened families, and it comes at a crucial time, after school-provided therapy has ended and to serve as supplemental therapy during the school year.

In the 2024–2025 school year, the number of students in Michigan eligible for special education services was approximately 205,000 across ages 3 to 26. Many of these students require support services beyond the academic year, including summertime therapy. However, access to these services remains a significant challenge—many parents are unable to afford private therapy programs throughout the summer, or at all, leaving critical developmental needs unmet during this gap in public school services.

 

Kids on the Go has been filling that summertime gap for special needs children at no cost since 1999 and is a way to help families of special needs children with medical costs not covered by insurers. More than 5,000 children aged 3-17 have received physical, occupational and speech therapy from our dedicated therapists over the years, helping kids stay successful in school while still having a summer to remember.

Your Donation Will Leave a Lasting Impact

Our programs at Kids On The Go are offered at no cost for children and teens with special needs. This would not be possible without the generous support of our donors. Your gift not only sustains our organization but also affirms our desire to provide those with special needs with the same opportunities as neurotypical children.

 

In 2025, we celebrated our 27th year of summer camp! Since 1999, more than 5,000 children and teens have benefited from programs through Kids On The Go. We are proud of all we have accomplished over the years and we are motivated and excited about the potential the future holds for Kids On The Go!


We are proud to serve some of the most “special” members of our community! Thank you for considering supporting our efforts.
