About
Since its launch in 1983, it has helped over 25,000 children. SKIP acts as a free medical concierge, connecting children to the services and equipment they need to get well and live at home rather than in hospitals or institutions. The organization serves over 800,000 children in New York who suffer from autism, developmental disabilities, birth defects, or the effects of disabling accidents. With offices in New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester, SKIP provides a range of services, including occupational therapy, parent support, physical therapy, respite care, and speech therapy. By donating to SKIP, individuals can help New York's sickest kids get the services and equipment they need to heal at home.
