Who We Serve
Families with children with autism and other developmental disabilities who are in need of specialized services delivered to them in their homes and in their child’s learning environments. Cnow has focused its development efforts on supporting persons in their natural living and learning settings, which allows for services to be delivered at times when they are most relevant and needed.
State and federal agencies struggling to cope with increasing demands in the face of budget cuts and personnel shortages. As the number of persons requiring special services increases and finding competent personnel becomes more difficult, providers must look to innovative approaches for augmenting service delivery. Cnow’s ability to connect providers with consumers is well proven. Through its affiliation with AdvoServ and the Celeste Foundation, Cnow has managed telehealth networks that have connected professionals with persons residing in single family homes, foster care settings, congregate living arrangements, and educational settings.
Medical and Human service professionals interested in earning their credentials as certified telehealth practitioners and joining a national network of telehealth pioneers. Cnow's advanced videoconferencing system allows professionals to extend the scope and availability of their services through the use of cutting edge interactive video technologies.
