About

The Children With Special Health Care Needs Project

This course is part of the training for the CSHCN case management practice model. This practice model was developed as part of a contract between the Texas Institute for Child and Family Wellbeing (TXICFW) and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The purpose of this practice model is to standardize effective case management processes currently used throughout Texas for children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) and to introduce evidence-based tools and practices where there is a need. The vision is that all case management services for CSHCN and their families are high-quality, family-centered, and culturally responsive.
