Abstract

In this 12 installment Medical Home series, "Exceptional Parent" presents a case study about the American Academy of Pediatrics' Medical Home Initiative. A "Medical Home" is not a building but an approach to providing healthcare services to children with special healthcare needs. This sixth part of the Medical Home series describes the experiences of Amita and Samir and their daughter, Anjali, a fictional family. The authors talk about Medical Home and the network of supports it offers children and youth with special healthcare needs through the family's experiences.
