Special Health Care Needs

Children with Special Health Care Needs

The Medical Home Initiative for Children with Special Health Care Needs
This is the American Academy of Pediatrics' initiative to provide support for all who care for special needs children.

The Los Angeles Medical Home Project for Children with Special Health Care Needs   This is the site of a local Medical Home Project based in L.A.  A particularly useful resource on this site is the "All About Me" book you can create for your child.  This book contains all of the necessary information and documentation to help you and your child's service providers coordinate the care of his/her special needs; the site gives you the templates to customize your child's own book.
