Our Story
We're here to share hope and knowledge with your family!
With over a decade of experience raising kids with special needs, we know that receiving a diagnosis entails more than a few extra appointments. It is a profound lifestyle change encompassing various therapies, disconnected providers, vague insurance requirements, and complicated public services. Without support, it can be overwhelming to figure out what to do, much less how to do it.

Our Services
Step 1: Consultation
Once we review your intake form and determine that we can support your needs, we will invite you to schedule a 30 minute phone call or virtual meeting to introduce our services and share:
Explanation of the therapies and programs you will likely undertake (under the care of your pediatrician and other specialists). These can include speech therapy, occupational therapy, DIR Floor Time, ABA Therapy, Play Therapy, Executive Function Coaching, Individualized Education Plan (IEP), Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI), and many more.
Expectations of what insurance versus other funding sources will cover, including Regional Center, MediCal, and self-pay.
An understanding of how school districts typically address the needs of a child with special needs and how to use DDS and Regional Centers as a resource.
Step 2: Building the Plan
Following our first consultation, we will send you a new client contract for services that may include:
Independent Facilitator and Consultant services for families entering or currently enrolled in the Self Determination Program (SDP).
Recommended providers for therapies and programs in your service area, including resources for parents and other caregivers / extended family members.
Specific guidance on inquiries and topics to address, such as expectations to coordinate treatment plans across providers/agencies.
