Available Services and Supports
Parent to Parent Support
Through Alpha you can be introduced to other parents who have walked the path you are on, leading to lifelong connections and practical support as you raise your child, teen, or adult with an intellectual or developmental disability. Our family support team is made up of parents who “have been there” and who have received specialized training in family support.
We are also able to provide support to parents or family members who have received news of a prenatal diagnosis of developmental disabilities or the risk of developmental delay.
System Navigation and Referrals
Assistance is available to help parents negotiate and navigate regional center, special education, and other systems that serve families and children with intellectual or developmental disabilities and other special needs. Most of these are free entitlement-based services.
Confidential referral service and follow-up to connect you with community resources is also available.
We also provide resource information on a wide-variety of topics from early intervention to raising a child with special needs.
Advocacy
Advocacy services are provided in order to ensure that individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities receive the services they require and the benefits to which they are entitled. Generally, individuals and/or their parents, family members, or friends are able to advocate successfully for their needs and interests. When these resources are insufficient or have failed, Alpha may provide advocacy services.
