In 1999, a group of parents in Northeast Tarrant County were looking for opportunities for their children with intellectual disabilities as they graduated from high school and approached adulthood.
Despite not having any experience in developing and managing a nonprofit organization, this small but courageous group of parents founded North Texas Special Needs Assistance Partners (SNAP), a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization serving individuals 17 and older living with intellectual disabilities.
Fast forward to 2023. North Texas SNAP serves approximately 130 intellectually disabled adults throughout North Texas. Our membership ranges in intellectual and developmental disabilities and is comprised of the intellectually disabled member, their families, business professionals and community members.
NTX SNAP offers monthly programs for all of its members. These programs include: J.O.B.S Club, Book Club,
Ambassador's Club
Men's Club
Girls Night Out (GNO)
We also provide monthly social events and special outings. Movie Madness & Supper Club are part of our monthly offerings. In addition, we have 3 parties a year including Spring Dance, Halloween & Christmas Parties.
