How It Works

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?

Traditional Model:
  • Service options are limited.
  • Flexibility is 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.

How long does it take to see results?

Contact your local Regional Center for current wait times.

How long does authorization take for support services to begin after becoming a Regional Center client?

Apply with your San Diego Regional Center or local Regional Center. The process can take time—don’t let the waitlist discourage you from applying today.

I'm not a Regional Center client - how do I apply?
