Sooner SUCCESS believes that parents are the experts on their children and need to be empowered with practical tools to help them manage their child's care.
The Care Notebook, created by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), helps parents and caregivers maintain an ongoing record of their child's unique care, services, providers, and notes. It is also a way to help keep the lines of communication open between the many providers and services that can make up a family’s medical home.
Health professionals recommend that parents/caregivers bring this notebook everywhere: to all medical appointments, therapies, care conferences, school meetings, even on vacations where new service providers may be necessary.
The AAP Care Notebook can even be customized online to fit the personal needs of each child.
For assistance in building a care notebook or to request links to other online examples of Care Notebooks, contact Lisa Simmons at 603-1580.
