Colorado Responds to Children with Special Needs (CRCSN) is a group of specialized public health reporting programs, surveillance data bases and early intervention. Each program characterizes disease prevalence, and provides epidemiological information for research and preventive intervention. Programs within the group include birth defects, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, muscular dystrophy (provide links), and other specialized databases.
Each program is connected to national organizations.
