A large number of the students that CCACs serve have developmental delays or other challenges that do not affect their ability to attend school, but may affect their ability to fully benefit from educational routines.

For our young patients who require physical, medical and mental health support, we provide a variety of in-school health services to maximize their opportunities to attend school and benefit from the learning environment.
