This information may be of interest to some of you from OHSU/Oregon Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Needs.

This is our Family Support Brochure.  Basically this program allows families of children with special health needs to access up to $750 per family per year. (Payee of last resort and for families with financial need.) The money is for durable health items (diapers, equipment, etc.) camps, conferences for families to learn more about their child or related to disability, etc.  Not respite or therapies per say.  Must be requested by a provider or case manager (service coordinator).  Children birth through 21.  Attached is the brochure and the contact phone numbers for more info.
