Parent Training & Information
Our Support and Education Resource Specialists provide support to parents and caregivers of children with disabilities or challenges, and help them access services and resources.
Many of our staff are parents or family members of loved ones living with a disability. We have navigated the Regional Center and/or education systems and can provide support to you as you begin, or continue, your journey with your child.
Does your child struggle in school? Does your child have a disability?
Would you like to get support and information from someone who understands and will listen?

Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Fresno, Kings, and Tulare counties.
