Our Mission:
The mission of Special Child Health Services (SCHS) is to enhance the capacity of families to meet the developmental and health related needs of children from birth to age 21 who have delays or disabilities by providing education and support services.
Families from diverse racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds are key partners in the process of decision making at every level of the design, implementation and evaluation of their child’s care. This partnership is foundational and paramount to the successful workings of Special Child Health Services.
Service Coordination for early Intervention: Age Birth to Three
Early intervention services are designed to address a problem or delay in development as early as possible. The services are available for infants and toddlers up to age three. Public and private agencies serve as providers to address the needs of children and their families who meet the eligibility criteria established by the State.

The Case Management Team: Age birth to Twenty-One
Case management is a goal directed system, the purpose of which is to assure the provision of coordinated comprehensive services for special needs children and their families. The ultimate goal of the case management unit is to assist these families with identifying and accessing quality health care so that children have the opportunity to function at their optimum level.
