Welcome to Additional Needs, Inc. (ANI)

YOU BELONG HERE

Building the trusted digital infrastructure for the additional needs community.

Whether you’re an individual with additional needs, a family member, caregiver, organization, business, professional, or ally, there’s a place for you at ANI.

Every day, people across the additional needs community search across disconnected websites, directories, calendars, and online communities trying to find trusted resources, services, events, and meaningful connections. ANI serves as the trusted bridge connecting our community, bringing people and organizations together to overcome fragmentation, discover resources, build relationships, and thrive.
