TRADTIONAL SERVICES

At The Autism Guide, we understand both the Regional Center system and the realities of raising a child with autism.  Our team of Parent Mentors and Specialists offers guidance, advocacy, and emotional support to help families access resources and manage their child’s IPP.

In partnership with the Regional Center, we provide parent support programs for eligible families with children ages 3–5—offering through one-on-one coaching or a community workshop series. To get started, contact your Service Coordinator and request services under Vendor #PY3549. If you're in the Self-Determination Program, approval works a bit differently, and we’re happy to help you through it.
