About the Resources Section

At Kinetic Kids, Inc. we believe that we have responsibility to help direct families
to resources and programming that may be useful in their decision making
process regarding the care of a child with special needs. In the resources
section, it is our intention to provide links to community organizations that have
programming available in the greater Miami area. We do not make
endorsements regarding any organization listed, we merely note that they are
active.

We also intend to post current articles from reputable sources on a variety of
relevant topics. However, because an article  is posted on our site, it should not
be interpreted as an active endorsement of the views within, or as a
recommendation to follow any suggestions or advice made by the authors. Our
decision to post an article is largely based on its relevance to children with
special needs,  the generally accepted reliability of the source, its accessibility
to the reader, and its level of interest. We are not in a position to attest to the
validity of the underlying science contained within, particularly and especially
with matters outside of our therapeutic expertise.  

It is also our intention to post  contact information provided by our clients who
operate businesses in related and unrelated fields. We are thankful for the
support we receive from them and we would like to return the favor in any way
we can.
