A Message from MKSA

The past several months have been challenging, to say the least. We sincerely hope that you are safe and well, and for those that have been affected by COVID-19, our prayers are with you. MKSA has been operating and delivering services throughout this crisis. Our office staff has been working primarily remotely, and our providers are delivering services via telehealth. We pride ourselves on being responsive and fully engaged with the families that we service. As we carefully monitor the situation and abide by all guidelines, we will update our families. In the meantime, let's all stay safe and look forward to better times ahead!

Summer plans have been turned upside down for this summer. That doesn't mean, however, that your kids can't have fun and keep busy.

For children with special needs, there are an assortment of camps offering many different workshops including musical theater and photography. Learn more here.

Other Virtual Camps are being offered on a variety of topics and interests, from chess to the San Diego Zoo. Take a look.
