Child with Special Health Care Needs and Adult

Youth with Special Health Care Needs

Approximately 20% U.S. children, ages birth to 17 years, have a special health care need

The Florida Department of Health’s Title V Program supports the health of children and young adults with chronic and serious physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions through a comprehensive system of care. 

Authorized by Title V of the Social Security Act, the Maternal Child Health Services Block Grant supports the infrastructure for our Title V Program and the National Systems Standards for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs provides direction in action planning.

Floridaโ€™s Title V Program workforce utilizes public health detailing to establish and maintain strong service networks through state, regional, and community relationships.
