Swails P. 2016. Shared resource: Iowa child health connections. [Iowa City, IA]: Regional Autism Assistance Program, 13 pp.

Annotation: This presentation describes the Iowa Child Health Connections (ICHC) website, an online resource for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN), their families, and providers. Developed through collaboration between Child Health Specialty Clinics (CHSC) and the Iowa Department of Public Health, the website launched in March 2016 as part of a HRSA-funded implementation grant focused on improving services for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. The presentation highlights the website's interactive roadmaps for both families and providers; the information it offers on diagnosis, early childhood development, education, family support, assistive technology, and transitions; and its searchable database with over 2,000 resources available to Iowa families, which can be filtered by county, keyword, or category. The presentation slides highlights the website's user-friendly design with separate sections for parents/families and providers, and details plans for future enhancements including a YouTube channel for training videos and family stories.
