For more than 100 years, the Office for Children with Special Health Care Needs, or OCSHCN, has supported Kentucky families by helping children access the care, services, and guidance they need to grow, learn, and thrive. OCSHCN partners with families, health care providers and communities to ensure every child has the chance to reach their fullest potential.
OCSHCN operates across Kentucky offering expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment in areas such as neurology, autism, orthopedics, otology, and other pediatric specialties.
