Developmental Disorders More Common Than A Decade Ago

This study highlights the need for more community-driven needs assessments to determine the state of services within communities to produce optimal outcomes for individuals with special needs.  Unicorn Children's Foundation is in the planning phase of such an assessment in Palm Beach County, Florida which we hope will serve as a starting point to create a road map for communities to create a comprehensive and coordinated system of care and a best practice service delivery strategy for children with special needs.  If you are interested in participating in this important project, please contact our Executive Director, Sharon Alexander, M.H.Sc. at sharon@eunicorn.org.
