What this is, in plain language

Special Needs Network runs free programmes for families of autistic children and other developmental disabilities in underserved communities, including the Parent Advocacy Mentor (PAM) training that teaches parents to spot early signs of disability, navigate Regional Center Early Start services and secure an IEP for their child.

Getting started

Call (323) 291-7100 or email info@snnla.org to get in touch; individual programmes such as PAM have their own online registration forms and named contacts.
