Source Kids is Australia’s first (and only) magazine and online media resource for parents, carers and professionals of children with special needs.

Source Kids was founded two years ago by special needs parent Emma Price, who was frustrated by her own experiences trying to find products, services and information for her daughter Charlotte, who has Angelman Syndrome.

The vision was to deliver reliable, relevant and up-to-date information in a vibrant and positive manner.

Source Kids provides information about a range of topics including, education, health, rare diseases, research, technology, grants and funding, products and services and events to name a few.

This information is distributed through a range of channels including:

• Glossy magazine that is distributed quarterly through five states
• Online through the Source Kids’ website
• Email newsletter
• Social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest)

Source Kids distributes its quarterly magazine for free to over 100 outlets in Australia including therapy centres, children’s hospitals, development schools and other selected businesses relevant to its audience.

The need for a resource like Source Kids has been amplified by the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This new empowerment is a great outcome for many families, but also a daunting one as they encounter new processes to be learned, the need to manage their own services and also find and purchase their own products. Source Kids is leading its audience through this process and holding their hand along the way.

The impact of Source Kids is far-reaching and making a difference to the lives of so many. Empowering its parents, carers and people with disabilities with the opportunity to share their story, opinions, grief, advice and celebrations.
