Every day at The Spot, children with special needs find joy, friendship, and belonging—while parents get a much-needed break to care for the rest of their families.
THE NEED
special needs often lack opportunities to socialize, play, 
and feel included. 
Meanwhile, parents carry the demanding responsibility of 
constant care, leaving little time 
for themselves, their spouses, or their other children. special needs often lack opportunities to socialize, play, and feel included.

What Our Members Say
The Spot completely changed my child's life!
“Our children can’t attend any of our Jewish schools or camps. Spot gives them the opportunity to make friends inside our community. We never dreamed it was possible. Spot not only provides outstanding services, they let everyone know that these children are our community’s treasures, and they deserve the highest level of care, love, and commitment.”
Milaine
Best decision ever!
“As a family that has some kids with high functioning disabilities, life is not always easy. The Spot is literally a Godsend. It makes our house calm and normal for just a few hours. Knowing that people care is mind-blowing. You don’t know us well, and yet we feel so looked after, so cared for, not forgotten, like we matter. Thank you for all you do and the difference you make to so many Detroit families.”
