Children and Youth With Special Healthcare Needs
Innovative Approaches
Helping systems work for children and youth with special health care needs.
- The Innovative Approaches Initiative (IA) is working to improve the lives of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) from birth to 21.
- IA leads local efforts among community members who help identify and make changes to service delivery systems that need improvement.
- Strategies improve service delivery systems that positively impact the lives of CYSHCN.
- Families of CYSHCN partner in decision-making at all levels.
- A parent advisory council/support group, which is composed of parents and guardians of CYSHCN, collaborates with stakeholders and makes recommendations that can improve the lives of families.
