Since 1982 any baby can has served as a safety net for those in need, touching the lives of 120,000 children and their families. Providing directions and guidance for families of children with special health care needs is at the heart of the organization. The impact the birth or diagnosis of a child with special health care needs has, on the family, is immense. Instantly, the family's dreams are altered and their lives are changed forever. The stress has the potential to tear even the strongest of families apart. Any baby can serves families of every race, ethnicity, income and educational level and from every neighborhood in bexar county and surrounding counties. Any baby can families share similar struggles as they learn and adapt to their child's condition, and move forward to raise their children. The vision of any baby can is that families of children and youth with special health care needs will maintain the stability that is critical to their optimal development and wellbeing, in hopes that they willfully participate in the community as individuals and as a healthy and prosperous family. The case management program is designed to support, educate, guide and empower families as they begin the journey of adapting to their child's condition or as they enter into another stage of their child's life. Through this comprehensive work, families are educated and supported in accessing health care and a medical home for their child and themselves. Any baby can provides comprehensive long-term case management, working with families to focus on setting person-centered and long-term goals to meet future needs that will improve the quality of life for the child or youth. This type of long-term case management is more effective and has lasting benefits that enrich the lives of any baby can families. Any baby can provides resources for the siblings of children with special health care needs. They are able to participate in our sibling support group to help them become informed, feel respected, and know how to be compassionate advocates for their siblings. Families also have access to the center for infant and child loss which provides support to families who have experienced the tragic loss of their child. These services include palliative care, grief support, funeral assistance, grief literature, resources, education, referrals, and an annual memorial event. The prescription assistance program (pap) provides access to medication for the restoration and maintenance of health, for the child, the entire family and community. The autism services program offers education and support for families of children and youth diagnosed with autism and the community. The program also provides training to local businesses, family attractions and first responders in developing an awareness and acceptance of individuals with autism. These programs and services are designed to enrich each other and to promote life-long changes that improve the quality of life for families in the community.
