For parents and caregivers of children with special needs

The special needs app for every family.

Every diagnosis. Every state. Every age.

Find the programs your state offers, explained in plain language. Reach the officials who decide what gets funded. Ask parents who’ve been there. Free, in English and Spanish, built by a dad of twins with autism.

Free on iPhone and Android. No ads. No selling your data.

The help exists. The wait can last a childhood.

Florida

10+ years

How long most people offered a Florida disability waiver last year had already waited.

Florida APD, August 2026

North Carolina

20,150

People waiting for North Carolina’s disability waiver. New slots added that year: zero.

NC DHHS, January 2026

Waits like these are why families need to know every option in their state, and why they need a voice. nyceville gives you both, in one place.

Your state’s resources, built into the app.

From “where do I even start?” to the right program, one step at a time. This is Georgia; every state has its own page.

Georgia example. Programs, rules and waits differ by state.

More than Medicaid

Every program answers the question parents actually ask: can a parent be paid? In Georgia, GAPP can pay a parent for personal care hours. Katie Beckett can’t, and the app says so plainly. Core resources adds SSI, ABLE accounts and the agencies that help you apply.

When support falls short, you’ll know who to tell.

Advocacy in nyceville starts with an issue, not a party. Each one is either something to protect or something to demand.

Protect

Coverage families rely on today. In Georgia, that’s Katie Beckett: Medicaid for children with significant disabilities, without counting parent income.

Demand

Barriers that keep families waiting: capped programs, long waiting lists, services approved on paper but never staffed.

nyceville doesn’t endorse candidates or parties. Every official in your area is listed the same way.

I built this because my family needed it.

I’m Jamie, a stay-at-home dad of five, including twins with Level 3 autism who are non-speaking. Getting Katie Beckett for our boys meant state websites that read like another language, documents to track down, and email after email. nyceville is the place I wish we’d had.

Coming next: one place for grants and scholarships, and a way to find care that fits your child’s needs. More to come.
