Reports Summarize Education Findings from Boston Children's Hospital (Children and Youth With Special Health Care Needs: Progress Towards More Family-centered Systems of Care).

A research article from Boston Children's Hospital discusses the progress made in including children and youth with special health care needs in education, health, and public health systems over the past 50 years. Legislative mandates for inclusion and parental rights in the education system, along with the expansion of health care coverage through programs like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, have contributed to greater inclusion. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the history of these systems to improve care for children and youth with special health care needs and their families in the future.
