About this event

It’s never too early to get services for your special needs child

Delays in diagnosis and services can be harmful to a baby or toddler with special needs. For African-American children that delay can be up to three years. It doesn’t have to be that way. We can help you access critical services and show you how to become your child’s best advocate.

Our free Parent Advocacy Mentor (PAM) training program will teach you to:

+ Identify the early warning signs of developmental disorders

+ Navigate systems of care and access Regional Center Early Start services

+ Support your child’s transition to public school with a successful Individualized Education Plan (IEP)

+ Learn from experts and connect with parents who have been in your shoes.

Every child has the right to high-quality care and resources. Let us help you make sure your child gets all the help they need to thrive, in school and at home.
