Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs Program coordinates services for children under age 18 who have, or who are at elevated risk for having, chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions (biological or acquired), and who also require health and related non-educational and non-recreational services of a type or amount not usually required by children of the same age. Program also offers payment for certain types of services including, but not limited to, adaptive and specialty equipment, specialty pharmacy and nutritional formulas, hearing aids, and medical and/or surgical supplies. Also, respite funds are available to families whose children are enrolled in the CYSHCN Program. (Families may be placed on a waiting list until funds become available.) Respite services include planned or emergency care, including summer camps, to provide relief to eligible families caring for children with special health care needs. Maximum respite grant per family is $500 per year.
