- Joori, North County San Diego,
Self-Determination Program - Parent Support and Wellness Program receiving monthly support sessions
From day one, she met us with compassion and real-world know-how. She mapped out our next steps, connected us to the right services, and protected our well-being along the way. We felt heard, supported, and empowered—like we finally had a roadmap we could trust.
The Autism Guide turned isolation into a clear, hopeful path.
- Carly Kennedy, San Diego
Parent Support & Coaching for Newly Diagnosed Families
Monique helped me decode the IEP, secure a 1:1 aide, tap into Regional Center benefits (camps, respite, SDP), and navigate IHSS without the usual panic. I felt informed, confident, and supported—like I could actually advocate for my child and breathe again.
Monique gave me calm, clear steps—exactly when I needed them.
- Stephanie, Orange County
Parent Support & Coaching and Caregiver Wellness Support
With Monique’s guidance, I released years of stress and found practical ways to refill my cup. I’m showing up as a healthier, happier mom—and I finally have tools that support both me and my child.
She helped me heal—and reminded me I matter, too.
Frequently Asked Questions
what to know
Booking a session is easy! Simply schedule a free discovery call below to discuss your goals and see if coaching is the right fit for you.
How can I book a session to learn more?
No, we focus on parent coaching and resource navigation. Please email [email protected] for a list of trusted Independent Facilitators/PCP providers. They will guide you through the SDP process and include our services in your spending plan.
Do you provide IF/PCP services?
- Service options are limited.
- Flexibility in support is limited to the regional center approved vendor list.
- Regional Center pays providers.
SDP Model:
- You can choose your providers and they don't have to be an approved regional center vendor. Supports are flexible and personalized.
- Financial Management Services (FMS) pays the providers—you simply review and approve invoices.
- You remain in control of the decisions and how your funding is allocated.
- If you’re not already in the Self-Determination Program (SDP), it’s highly recommended to consider transitioning. SDP opens the door to many more possibilities and greater flexibility.
Traditional vs SDP - what's the difference?
Results vary from person to person, but many clients feel a sense of comfort and relief after the very first session—simply knowing they have someone guiding them and that they don’t have to navigate the journey alone. With continued support, consistent effort, and the right mindset, positive changes often follow within a few sessions, and progress toward your goals becomes clearer and more attainable.
