North Texas SNAP

Empowering Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities

Founded in 1999 by a dedicated group of parents in Northeast Tarrant County, North Texas Special Needs Assistance Partners (SNAP) emerged from a shared frustration with the fragmented social service system for individuals with intellectual disabilities. This courageous group recognized the urgent need for effective support for their children as they transitioned into adulthood. With no prior experience in nonprofit management, they established North Texas SNAP, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving individuals aged 17 and older living with intellectual disabilities.

North Texas SNAP believes that success in life is determined by the quality of support an individual receives, rather than their disability. The organization embraces the uniqueness of each individual, focusing on their potential and challenges. In a society that often adopts a “one size fits all” approach, North Texas SNAP prioritizes individualized support tailored to the specific needs of its members.

The membership of North Texas SNAP includes individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, business professionals, and community members. Like their peers, SNAP members aspire to have jobs, friendships, and meaningful relationships, and to feel respected and included in their communities. North Texas SNAP is committed to helping these individuals achieve their goals, serving as a strong voice for change and advocacy.
