	Covering Kids with Special Needs Project (CKSN) - Completed Children with special health needs face significant barriers to obtaining and retaining health care coverage. The project builds upon the network infrastructure and lessons learned from the past Covering Kids Wisconsin and Families MAP projects to improve access to health care coverage programs for children with special health needs and also help families navigate this often confusing system. The project offers parents and providers information, trainings, and the opportunity to participate in local, regional, and statewide policy discussion forums.
	Families Managed Advocacy Project (MAP) - Completed Managed health care systems are rapidly expanding in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, this system of health care delivery is not necessarily designed to best serve those children who have developmental disabilities or chronic health care needs. Lack of information and advocacy in a managed health care system translates into poor health, fear, confusion, and great amounts of frustration. The mission of Families MAP is to create a model advocacy program that will enable families to feel secure in placing their children with special health care needs in a managed health care setting. This program will include advocacy training, educational materials and supportive services.
	Covering Kids - Completed Covering Kids Wisconsin is part of a nationwide initiative funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focused on getting more kids enrolled in free or low-cost health insurance such as Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (BadgerCare in Wisconsin).
