Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. When your child sees five, eight, or twelve specialists, their records don't have to live in that many portals. One timeline holds every evaluation, every therapy note, and every progress report — ready for the next IEP meeting, the next new provider, the next school year.
Most children see a pediatrician and maybe a dentist. Their records live in one or two places. A child with special needs sees a different set of providers entirely — and the list grows over time.
Here is a real scenario many parents recognize:
Each provider sees their piece. The parent is the only one who sees the whole child — but only if they can find every note, every evaluation, every progress report across five or eight different portals and filing systems.
When the school schedules an IEP or 504 plan meeting, they ask for documentation. Not just one document — they want evaluations, therapy progress reports, medical letters supporting specific accommodations, and sometimes a full developmental history.
Parents describe the same drill every time:
This scavenger hunt repeats for every IEP review, every re-evaluation, every school transition, and every new provider who asks "can you bring your child's records?"
With one timeline: open the child's record, see every provider's notes in chronological order, share what the school needs. No portal scavenger hunt.
Family Stork creates one private @families.familystork.com email address for the child — shown on the child's record page. The parent gives that address to every provider on the team.
Here is what happens next:
No provider needs to learn a new system. Every clinic already knows how to send an email. No FHIR connection required, no network check, no portal integration. If the provider can email, they can contribute to the child's timeline.
Paper records work too. The handwritten therapy note from the small practice that still uses paper? Snap a photo, and AI files it on the timeline alongside the digital records. How the email address works →
Children with special needs often change schools — from early intervention to preschool, preschool to elementary, elementary to middle school. Some change school districts. Each transition means new people asking for the full history.
And providers change too. Therapists move, clinics close, insurance changes mean new referrals. The developmental pediatrician who wrote the first evaluation may not be the one seeing the child three years later.
When records live in portals, each transition means another round of requesting records, waiting for faxes, and explaining the whole story from scratch. When records live on one timeline, the parent hands the new school or the new provider access to the same chronological record that every previous provider contributed to.
The record belongs to the family — not to any one clinic or school. When the child moves on, the record comes with them. How to transfer records when switching providers →
If your child already has a team of providers, here is what to gather first:
Going forward, give the email address to every provider on the team. New records file themselves. The backlog is the hard part — once it's done, the timeline builds itself.
IEP teams and school staff need specific records, not the entire medical history. Family Stork lets parents share selectively — a helper invitation for the school team gives them access to the documents they need for the meeting, without exposing every pediatric visit note from infancy.
For a school meeting, a parent might share the developmental evaluation, the OT progress report, and the speech therapy goals. The school sees those documents. The rest of the record stays private. How sharing works →
This is the long view. A child with special needs eventually becomes an adult. At 18, they may need to manage their own records — or a parent may continue helping as a legal guardian or healthcare proxy.
Either way, the record stays. Every evaluation from age 2, every therapy note from elementary school, every IEP from every grade — all in one timeline. When an adult provider asks "can you tell me your developmental history?", the answer isn't "my mom might have a folder somewhere." It's the complete record, from the first concern to today.
Held for them, then handed to them. What happens to health records when your child turns 18 →
Yes. The private @families.familystork.com address works with any provider who can send an email — the developmental pediatrician, the OT clinic, the speech therapist, the neuropsychologist, the pediatrician, and anyone else on the team. Every record files itself on the same timeline in chronological order.
Family Stork organizes the records your providers create. The evaluations, progress reports, and medical letters on the timeline are the original documents from those providers. The school is receiving the same records they would get directly from the provider — they're just organized in one place instead of scattered across multiple portals. Always confirm with your child's school what documentation format they accept.
Take a photo of the paper record. Family Stork's AI reads it and files it on the timeline alongside the digital records from other providers. Small therapy practices that still use paper are one of the most common gaps in a child's record — the photo capture closes that gap.
$99 per year — or about $10 a month — covers every person in the family. One subscription, every child, every adult. Free to start organizing. See how it works →
No. Family Stork is a records organizer. It keeps, organizes, and helps you find and share your child's health records. It does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Always consult your child's doctor or specialist for medical decisions.
Start your child's record today. Give every specialist the same email address. The next IEP meeting, you'll have everything in one place.
