Population Served
PKRC primarily targets an underserved population – children 3-22 years of age with developmental disabilities, physical challenges, chronic illness or other special needs. Demographically, children served are: 50% male, 50% female; 50% Caucasian, 20% African American, 22% Hispanic, 8% other. Partnering with families, schools and medical groups, PKRC is uniquely able to meet the cognitive, physical and emotional needs of children living with serious medical conditions such as:
| Autism | Diabetes | Cancer | Blindness | Deafness |
| Missing Limbs | Amputation | Renal Failure | Cerebral Palsy | Neurological Disorders |
| Asthma | Displaced Youth | Arthrogryposis | Mixed Diagnosis | Hand Differences |
Due to the close proximity to Fort Hood, PKRC also has the honor of serving many military families; nearly 35% of children served are military dependents. All services are provided free-of-charge to participants, without regard to ability, race, ethnicity, creed or socio-economic status.
