At Bryan's House, our mission is to provide children with special health needs and their families with trusted case management, educational, therapeutic, and medically-supported care. From the immobile child to the nonverbal Autistic child to the infant with cerebral palsy—Bryan’s House is a place for every child.
We are largely focused on early education, currently functioning as the only Dallas Independent School District full day pre-kindergarten program designed for children with special health needs. While there are organizations in Dallas that offer diagnostic support, therapies, and group interaction, no organizations besides Bryan’s House offer public school Pre-K for children with special needs – and nearly no other organizations offer full special health needs childcare up to age five.
This is why Bryan's House is vital. Early education is consistently shown to support children’s development, relationships with peers, and sense of belonging, and ages 0-5 is a critical time where 90% of a child's brain is formed. Accessible Pre-K is paramount to a child's success throughout life—it is a time when they develop the social and emotional skills that they will need in kindergarten and beyond! Our focus on education is complemented by our wraparound services, which include on-site therapy sessions and comprehensive case management.
We are working to create a place where every child can thrive. We envision a future where children with special health needs are embraced for their unique abilities, given the opportunity to reach their full potential, and where families are empowered to lead fulfilling lives alongside their children. Bryan’s House is a safe place where both children and families can feel comfortable, cared for, and supported. We are the stepping stone that sets children with special health needs up for success as they continue their journey beyond our doors.
