In an effort to enhance outreach services to the disabled community and its families, we are pleased to announce that The Oak Experience, Ltd. has merged its mission with that of Special Guide, Inc. and the Michael Chez Foundation. The consolidation of these three missions has resulted in the creation of The Special Needs Network (TSNN), a mission-driven not-for-profit corporation dedicated to helping families with special needs optimize the lifelong care of their loved ones. The mission of The Special Needs Network is to provide resources, research and education for families of individuals with disabilities and the elderly.
