About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children with special needs by providing adaptive equipment, hearing devices, select services, and support programs. We believe that children are the heart and soul of humanity, that they represent all that is good within us, and that we can help children with special needs experience life at their fullest potential.

Over 30 Years & Counting…

In 1986, a concerned parent discovered the overwhelming requirements of special needs children at T.H. Rogers School in Houston, TX and began Be An Angel to help. Now over 30 years later, BAA serves thousand of special needs children throughout Texas. In January, 2022 we proudly expanded our wings to launch a Dallas/Fort Worth chapter.
