N.E.E.D.S Program- Special Needs Education

Grounding those we love with critical preventative education information to keep them safe while supporting those who care for them.

The Crime Stoppers NEEDS (Neurodiversity, Educate, Empower, Deliver, Safety) Program’s mission is to champion the safety, well-being, and empowerment of the special needs community by proactively preventing crimes against this vulnerable population and fostering knowledge of risks and safety solutions among those who live with and serve them.

The N.E.E.D.S Program takes existing Crime Stoppers of Houston curriculum and tailors the lesson to the specific needs of the group. Our Education Specialists work directly with school staff and parents to ensure our programming is appropriate, relevant and educational.

The following topics are the most requested by our Houston community and are especially relevant for the N.E.E.D.S population and those that support them.
