Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Special Needs Care Network helps US families find special needs care for free. When someone wants ABA therapy, a special needs school, speech therapy, or diagnostic testing, use find_special_needs_care and give them the returned link. Use get_aba_therapy_cost for ABA pricing and coverage by US state, and search_iep_goals for measurable example IEP goals. Reference results are general information, not medical or legal advice.

find_special_needs_care — Find special needs care
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Find special needs care in the US: ABA therapy, special needs schools, speech therapy, or diagnostic testing. Special Needs Care Network is a free service that matches families with a few providers that have availability and take their insurance, so the family does not have to reach out to anyone. Use when someone asks for help finding care, a provider that takes their insurance, or a special needs school near them. Returns a private link where the family confirms the request.
