Come Read With Me Program
This program is designed to encourage life-long learning for individuals with developmental delays and other cognitive disorders. Reading, math language, life and social skills are stressed to help the individuals remain as functionally independent and mentally healthy as possible. This program is unlike any other in the metroplex and is quickly becoming a program to effectively serve a wider range of individuals with special challenges. For more information, click on the link above. Classes are conducted at 901 Clinic Dr. Euless, TX. SNAP helps support the Come Read With Me Program through a monthly payment for scholarships.

RK Martial Sciences & Fitness
Some of our SNAP members are participating in the special needs self-defense classes at the RK Martial Sciences & Fitness Studio, where they gain self-defense skills and self-confidence. As our Members become more involved with the community independently, this class helps provide them with the awareness of potential dangers and teaches the the steps to avoid or handle the dangers in an effective manner. For more information, please contact Kris Bates at www.rkkungfu.com.
