Capable Kids and Families®
Capable Kids and Families is a program designed to promote early intervention by providing children, ages birth to six years, and families with developmentally appropriate toys and therapeutic equipment free-of-charge. Additionally, the program connects families to community resources that meet their needs, and facilitates network building and supportive friendships among parents.
Therapeutic Toys and Equipment Lending
We have access to more than 1,200 pieces of therapy equipment. 
Families are encouraged to consult with their child’s therapist for equipment recommendations in the following areas:
- gross and fine motor
- speech and language development
- sensory integration
- ability switches and adapted toys
- visual and auditory processing
- cognitive development and problem solving
- positioning and mobility
All equipment and developmental toys are loaned to families free-of-charge for as long as it is needed! View Our Capable Kids and Families Equipment Catalog.
Access to Community Resources 
A trained support specialist will visit the family regularly in their home. Our goal is to help the family assess the needs and desires of the entire household. This specialist will provide information and referral to appropriate community resources, as well as help parents in accessing formal services from a wide range of providers.
For more information or to refer a family, please contact AJ Johnson, Assistant Director of CKF, at 314-964-1619.
Opportunities for Connection
