Health Care Support
There are local, state, and national health related programs to support child with special needs.
Children
CSHCS is part of state government, and so it belongs to families. This Family Guide explains how CSHCS works. It tells you how to get help from CSHCS. Many parents find it overwhelming and confusing to suddenly need CSHCS. However, lots of help is available to sort out the system.
The Children with Special Needs Fund is an additional resource from CSHCS. "The CSN Fund is the most direct, comprehensive and innovative opportunity to help Michigan's special needs children."
Family Support Subsidy Program
The intent is to help make it possible for children with developmental disabilities to remain with or return to their birth or adoptive families. The program provides a monthly payment of $222.11. Families are able to use this money for special expenses incurred while caring for their child.
