Care Notebook Information

Our downloadable Care Notebook is a valuable tool in achieving a medical home/family centered care for your child. This record keeping system enables one to have all relevant information in one place. A Care Notebook should follow your child to all appointments, tests, therapies, IEPs, and more, to facilitate coordination of care. A completed Care Notebook assists those involved in your child’s care to view interactions with other professionals also involved in your child’s care.

If you have questions upon review of the Care Notebook materials, please call the Delaware Family Voices office and we will be happy to assist you in putting together this valuable tool. Also check the Events page for future Care Notebook training sessions.
