Zach's Place ZACH'S PLACE - A place where caring never stops
Chandler at The Wishing Star Farm
 Our Goals:* To support and preserve families by giving them respite time to renew energies and relationships * To provide quality care in a nurturing environment in the family's home community * To help children achieve their greatest level of independence through life skills training
Zach’s Place Respite for Children with Special Needs Zach's place was established to provide families in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas a place for respite care for their children with disabilities ages 5 to 21. Originally it was designed for children with developmental disabilities but it is open to others as well. We offer structured and free play and also teach life skills and socialization skills. We provide respite (temporary time apart for parent/caregiver and child) in a home-like environment and also have children daily after school and on school breaks. We aim to provide very flexible scheduling and individualized support so as to serve as many families as we can, with most families currently using our services after school and any time on weekends. Zach’s Place operates on a sliding fee scale and will support you in accessing community funding sources. Serving you and your child comes first and we want to do everything possible to make it happen! Zach’s Place is also part of a larger organization, Special Kids/Special Families, a non-profit serving families through specialized respite care, foster care, family preservation services, day care, and an adult day program. If you have any questions please call us at 719-329-1717 or email risakson@sksfcolorado.org
Thank you for your interest. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, or another interested party please call us or stop by. We would love to show you around and to share our excitement about all that we are doing at Zach’s Place!
