The Federation for Children with Special Needs (FCSN) operates in the field of individual and family services, offering information, support, and assistance to parents of children with disabilities, their professional partners, and communities. Its work centers on listening to families and promoting full participation in community life for people with disabilities, while recognizing the value of diverse abilities and the family as a key asset in a child’s development. The organization emphasizes parental leadership in shaping public policy and relies on a peer-support model, with many staff members who are themselves parents or relatives of children with disabilities. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, FCSN engages audiences across families, professionals, and communities to address needs related to disability and development. A notable recent initiative included launching the 'I Count' advertising campaign in 2020 to encourage census participation by families with children who have special needs.
