Overview

AI-generated overview

Helps US families find special needs care providers, check ABA therapy costs by state, and search example IEP goals.

What you can do
  • Find ABA, special needs school, speech therapy or diagnostic testing providers by care type, ZIP, age and insurance, returning a private link for a free match
  • Look up typical private-pay ABA rates, monthly estimates, insurance mandates and Medicaid access for a US state or DC
  • Search a bank of measurable example IEP goals by skill, area or autism tag
  • List the IEP goal bank's skill areas with descriptions and goal counts
When to use it
Useful when a family asks where to find ABA therapy, a special needs school, speech therapy or testing near them, what ABA costs or whether insurance covers it in their state, or when drafting or reviewing IEP goals.
Requirements
Works as a hosted remote endpoint or as a local process run with npx (Node.js). No account, API key or environment variables are required.
Before you install
Results are general information, not medical or legal advice; cost figures are estimates to confirm in plan documents, and example IEP goals must be rewritten from the child's own data. A care request reaches the provider team only after the family opens the returned link and submits their details.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Special Needs Care Network in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.specialneedsusa%2Fcare-finder/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Privacy

The server stores no search terms or tool arguments and requires no sign-in. find_special_needs_care takes care needs only, never contact details, and carries them in an encrypted link. A request reaches our team only when the family opens the link, adds their details, and submits it. See the privacy policy.

Important

Results are general information, not medical or legal advice. Example IEP goals must be rewritten from the child's own present levels and data. Cost figures are estimates, so confirm coverage in the plan documents.
