Northern Virginia Family Service

SPECIAL FOSTER CARE
Special Foster Care provides temporary, quality, family settings for children with special needs. As a result, the children are given the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.

The program serves children from birth through age eighteen who have emotional, behavioral, physical or developmental needs that cannot be met in their own homes. Northern Virginia Family Service social workers carefully match each child with an appropriate, trained foster family.

Foster parents from culturally diverse backgrounds are recruited and receive intensive specialized training. Northern Virginia Family Service foster care workers provide foster families, children and biological families
much-needed support, training and encouragement.
