About
I'm Tina. I'm a San Diego mom.
When our son was diagnosed, nobody handed us a map. Nobody hands any parent one. So I made my own, and it took a year: office after office, form after form, waiting on people who never called back. The whole time, there were programs for him that we didn't know existed. Therapy that could have started months sooner. Help at his school. A program that pays parents for the care we were already giving.
When we finally found those programs, everything changed. Our son got the help he needed, and he hasn't stopped growing since. We stopped fighting the system and started living our lives. And for the first time, we got the result we wanted — and we knew what would actually happen next.
Here's what nobody tells you next: it doesn't end. He'll need services for years, and we're still finding the ones that fit him best. And it's not just services. It's the dentist, the haircut, the food, the supplements, the potty training, the hundred everyday things that are harder for our kids. Every one of them took us a search. You shouldn't have to search.
I built Answers for Families so you know what to ask for in days, not years. At the Regional Center. At the doctor's office. At the school meeting table. The map is here. So is the list: the dentists, barbers, restaurants, camps, and services that fit your child.
The programs are already there. Your child may already qualify. Let's go find out, together.
