At FOCUS, our mission is to embrace and equip families of children with disabilities to make everyday life better.
Children participating in FOCUS activities range in age from birth through 29 years old and have lifelong developmental and/or physical disabilities, including rare genetic syndromes, cerebral palsy, autism, and Down syndrome. FOCUS families are racially and ethnically diverse and share the common bond of having children with significant health challenges in their lives.
FOCUS offers wraparound programs of support to families of children, teens, and young adults who are medically fragile or have developmental/physical disabilities. Programs include hospital support, workshops, adapted day and overnight camps, adapted swim teams, parent share groups, family camps and activities, grants for critical medical equipment, and more. FOCUS seeks to create a community for families of children with disabilities.
FOCUS was founded in August 1983 by parents seeking support for themselves and for their children with rare genetic illnesses. It quickly grew from a small living-room support group into an organization with innovative programs for both parents and children with developmental and physical disabilities. After 4 decades of growth and two mergers, FOCUS now provides services for more than 5,000 Georgia families.
Founders Susan & Jim Calhoun and Lynne & Jim Conboy start FOCUS
FOCUS merges with Kool Kidz and starts Camp TEAM and FAST Fins

Each time you give your time and your resources, you make an impact in the lives of children with disabilities and their families. A little about our Hospital Support program: When a FOCUS kiddo is in the hospital, we come to them—offering support, a quick visit, and a few goodies to brighten the day.

We also bring a meal and replenish the snack cart on the Technology-Dependent Intensive Care Unit at both hospitals every month. We could not do this work without you!

Let's celebrate Calian on this #MilestoneMonday! Calian has made so much progress! He has now mastered spelling and writing both his first and last name. He can count to 100 and is beginning to recognize and identify bigger numbers. He is also practicing writing numbers and continues to build his early academic skills. Calian recognizes all of his letters and their corresponding sounds. His vocabulary and communication continue to grow, and he is speaking more and more each day. We are also so proud that Calian has graduated from Physical Therapy (PT)! Watching him reach these milestones has been such a blessing. He continues to learn, grow, and surprise us every day. Why is this milestone so special? This milestone means more to me than words can truly express. Calian was born three months early, and there were so many uncertainties in the beginning. He was later diagnosed with autism, and there was a time when he could barely talk. To see him now spelling and writing his first and last name, counting to 100, recognizing letters and their sounds, speaking more every day, and graduating from PT is more than a blessing—it is a testimony of how far he has come. Every new word, every number he writes, and every skill he masters reminds me that progress may look different for every child, but every step forward is worth celebrating. I am beyond proud of him and grateful to God for allowing me to witness his growth. Calian continues to amaze me every single day. What once felt so far away is now becoming our reality, and I couldn't be more thankful for the little boy he is becoming. He is truly my miracle, and I will forever celebrate every milestone, big or small. We are all so excited for you! Congratulations!! #MilestoneMonday #focuskidsga

Let's celebrate McKenzie on this #MilestoneMonday! McKenzie graduated high school with all A's (in general education classes with support) and will be slowly entering post secondary education at Lanier Tech this fall. Why is this milestone so special? When she was born four months premature at 1 pound 6 ounces we were told she would never walk or talk or have any quality of life and now she's graduating on time with an excellent GPA. She's still in therapy several times a week but she's making a lot of progress towards being the best version of herself! We are so proud of how hard she works. We are all so excited for you! Congratulations!! #MilestoneMonday #focuskidsga
