About Friends and Families of Asians with Special Needs Inc
For Asian families raising children and supporting loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities, finding useful information can be complicated by language and access. FFASN brings families together in Houston through educational seminars, multilingual resource information, referrals, structured activities, and family events. A gift supports a community where families can share information, find disability-related resources, and spend time together through activities such as basketball and singing.
FFASN focuses specifically on Asian families and individuals with special needs, while working to unite different language groups within the Asian community. Its support includes multilingual information, family gatherings, structured activities, and partnerships with disability service agencies.
