Over half of California Children with a Special Health Care Need has one or more ACEs

More than one million children in California have a special health care need. These children have chronic physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional conditions that require more than routine health and related services. Sixty-one percent of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have had one more adverse experience. Understanding the factors that impact these children and their families is crucial to lifelong health and wellness.

 Kidsdata.org, a program of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, features 45 indicators about CSHCN (see selected links below). Additional information about CSHCN is available at lpfch.org, including research reports and an advocacy newsletter promoting systemic change.
