Our Mission

HRIIC has the overall goal of seamless services for families of young children with special needs in San Francisco. Our mission is to ensure that all children with special needs in San Francisco, between the ages of birth through five, receive services in a timely and coordinated manner, through interagency collaboration.

Family Participation

Family participation and leadership in this interagency collaborative are critically important to HRIIC. Parents of young children with special needs are valuable members and are encouraged to participate.

Our Activities

HRIIC works to foster interagency collaboration and effective services by:

• facilitating interagency efforts to coordinate and improve services, including coordinating the Round Table and the Multi-Agency Team;
• providing a forum for new ideas, information exchange and networking between public agencies, private organizations, families of children with special needs, early intervention and pre-school programs, and the medical community;
• providing public awareness and outreach activities to parents, professionals and the community;
• assessing and reviewing the program needs for children with special health care needs within the San Francisco early childhood community.
