Family Support Services

Caregivers and families of children with disabilities or special health care needs play a critical role in their child’s health and development. When pediatric care is family-centered, it increases the likelihood that families will follow jointly developed plans of care, resulting in greater adherence to medical treatment, improved child health outcomes, and reduced risk of missed appointments and medical malpractice claims.

 This training is delivered by the Connecticut Family Support Network and shares the perspective of parents of children with special needs. Training connects practices to family resources, parent support groups, information about accommodations in school, and other related concerns.

Practices receive:

• Resources and/or referral information
• 1 CME credit
• Meal during the training
