Mission Statement

An alliance is an agreement between two or more parties, made in order to advance common goals and to secure common interests.

To this end the Global Alliance of Special Needs Support was born.

The primary mission of GASNS is “connecting parents and professionals” in support of individuals with special needs.  Our goal is to create a community where we provide information, support, resources, inspiration and connections for parents and others who have someone in their life with learning differences, different abilities or other issues that present unique challenges to everyday life. These may include ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Down-Syndrome, or any number of other difficulties that impact your family.

Many of the moms (and Dads) we know would love the opportunity to work a flexible schedule that allows them to pursue their passion, be involved in the activities of their children, make a good (or great!) income and meet the needs of their families.  This then is our secondary purpose in creating this community.  We will offer an additional program in the near future to assist you if that is one of your goals.  We are excited for each and every one of you to have the opportunity to share your brilliance with the world.  *Watch for more information about this on our site.

GASNS will bring you information from the latest research and development in the field as well as tele-seminars where we bring the experts to you!  Support will come in many forms including a monthly newsletter from our Founder and President. We will provide resources you can use starting now that have been developed to facilitate success in the home, community and school settings.  Our blog and newsletter will provide inspiration as well as information. You will have the opportunity to form connections with others who support someone with special needs and with experts in such areas as social skills training, assessment in schools and behavior therapy.

My name is Tammy Kniffin and I am the Founder and CEO of the Global Alliance of Special Needs Support.  I am so glad you are here joining us on this journey to secure a bright future for you and your child!
