The UIC Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) operates as a statewide program in Illinois focused on supporting children with special healthcare needs and their families. Based in Springfield, Missouri, the organization is part of the broader hospitals and health care sector and provides coordinated, family-centered assistance to address medical, social, behavioral, educational, and financial needs, regardless of family income. Through care coordination, DSCC partners with families, medical providers, schools, and community groups to create individualized plans that help navigate diagnoses, treatment plans, and access to specialized care, with a focus on enabling families to manage care at home and prepare for adulthood. The program emphasizes services for children who depend on technology or skilled nursing to remain in their family homes, and it operates within a model supported by federal funds designated for Illinois to improve outcomes for children and youth with special healthcare needs.
