St Michaels Assn-Special Educ

St. Michaels Association for Special Education (SMASE) is a non-profit organization that has been serving the Navajo communities since 1970. Governed by a Board of Directors, SMASE provides education, therapy, daily living skills, nursing services, and residential services to moderate to severely disabled children and adults from throughout the Navajo Nation. With a commitment to remain open and provide quality services, SMASE is dedicated to helping individuals with developmental disabilities exercise their rights, make choices, and contribute to their community. SMASE has a long history of effectively administering person-centered community support and services, focusing on assisting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to grow, make choices, and become self-sufficient. However, the organization is currently facing financial challenges, with a budget shortfall and declining revenues. The COVID-19 pandemic has further impacted SMASE, leading to increased demand for services and changing operational needs. Despite these challenges, SMASE is determined to continue providing specialized education and services to its client members and is seeking support to stabilize its program and improve its infrastructure.
