Any Baby Can Child and Family Resource Center provides support for families caring for a child with special needs, therapies and support for children with, or at-risk for developmental delays, prenatal education to at-risk pregnant women, and childbirth, parenting and literacy programs for the community in general through the following programs.

All services and materials are available in English and Spanish

Nurse Family Partnership (NFP)

NFP helps low income, first-time mothers and their children with registered nurses serving as home visitors. Services begin prenatally and continue with child development education until the child is two years old. NFP home visitors work with families to achieve three main goals:

1. Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good preventive health practices.
2. Improve child health and development by helping parents provide responsible and competent care.
3. Improve the economic self-sufficiency of the family by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find work. NFP premiered in Central Texas as an Any Baby Can Program in the fall of 2008.

Children's Hearing Aid Texas (CHAT)

CHAT provides auditory services and hearing aids for children in Central Texas with audio logical needs who have no financial alternatives to meet these needs. CHAT was founded on the belief that hearing aids are essential for the development of cognitive and social skills in infants and children with hearing loss.

CHAT was founded by Caroline Caven in 2003 and incubated by the Austin Community Foundation under their 501 (c) (3) status until 2008, when CHAT was "adopted" by Any Baby Can.
