This brochure was developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Consortium for Children with Special Health Care Needs, with significant input from a consumer advisory group, which comprised parents of children with special needs who represent diverse and underserved populations. Their collective experience determined the brochure’s key message ("Talk to other parents!"), its wording and format.
