AZ Community Action Teams

VISION
Community Partnerships, pathways and opportunities for greater independence.  KAPCSN is very dedicated to reaching out to children and adults with Special Needs in the Kingman area. To us, each person is important and worthy of having opportunities to prove to the world who they are and what they can really do. Everyone has skills, talents and knowledge to offer our community.

• KAPCSN was started in November of 2004.
• We are a rural community in the Northwest corner of Arizona. We currently have about 30,000 people living in several small towns that make up our community. 
• Our community has ownership of our team and therefore, sets the direction our team will take. Community members do all the work possible so as to feel that ownership. By the team being so broad based in our community, we can build strong external relationships. This helps with the work we find we need help with.

WHAT WE DO:

• We provide technical assistance to working groups within our community.
• We assist with community development as it relates to people with Special Needs by

Building on community assets
Connecting people with each other to build relationships share talents, energy and information.
Connecting existing resources and expand our resource base.
Increasing the skills of individuals.
Increasing community self reliance and confidence, to make changes as needed in our community.

• We provide advocacy for families with children with Special Needs in our schools and in the community as needed.
• We help coordinate community needs/resource assessment activities.
• We promote community change, to help enrich and enhance the quality of life for people with Special Needs in our community.
• We work with professionals and parents regarding policies and procedures that have direct impact on families of/and individuals with Special Needs.
