Innovative Approaches is conducting this survey to learn more about the experiences of families of children and youth with special health care needs. Your response will help us improve services for families of children and youth with special health care needs in our community. While completing this survey, please answer the questions about your oldest child who has special health care needs.
Thank you for participating in this anonymous survey!
A child with special health care needs is one who has a condition expected to last longer than 12 months, and requires more care than is usual for most children of the same age. They may use more medical, mental health or educational services. Some children have conditions that rarely affect them, or only affect them a little. Others are significantly affected by their conditions.
Goal 5: Youth with special health care needs receive the services necessary to make appropriate transitions to adult health care, work, and independence.
