Contact your county or state health department and tell them you want an application for the Title V Children with Special Health Care Needs program. If you need help filling out the application, ask for assistance.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HSRA), an agency of the federal Department of Health and Human Services provides direct access to information about contacting each state's CSCHN programs through its Web site: https://performance.hrsa.gov/mchb/mchreports/ link/state_links.asp.
You can also contact the HSRA with questions at:

A Directory of State Title V CSCHN Programs published by the Institute for Child Health Policy is available online at: http://cshcnleaders.ichp.edu/TitleVDirectory/directory.htm. It was last updated in 2003, so some of the information may not be current.
Depending on where you live, you may find an online application form for your state. You should first learn about the services or assistance your state’s CSHCN program offers and then decide whether it will serve the child's needs.
