About Us
Special Kids in the UK started as an online support group in 2000, created by Karina Choat who is
a parent to a child with severe cerebral palsy. In July 2005, Special
Kids in the UK became a registered charity with four Trustees.
Karina is still a member but early 2005, moved on to train to become a midwife.
We would like to thank Karina and wish her well in her career
