Every child learns differently, and some kids need specialized support for the ways they learn and process information. In addition, some children have special needs beyond what a regular classroom can offer, so parents need to know all their options for finding special education resources.
Learning disabilities can range from mild to severe, and there’s help here in Los Angeles for whatever your child needs. Early intervention is very important to help overcome developmental disabilities, so that children can stay on track in school and not become discouraged.
Whether you’re looking for a special education program within your local school system, an entire school devoted to kids with special needs, or even a speech therapist or occupational therapist, this list should help you get started finding solutions for your kids.
Regional Centers are non-profits and can provide diagnoses and assessment of eligibility for services and resources. They can serve families from birth and into adulthood. There are 21 Regional Centers throughout California.
These Centers help coordinate services for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and were created by the Lanterman Developmental Services Act in 1966. They contract with the State of California, so there may be no charge to your family.
