It’s Aparent


If you and your family are new to special education, you know that it is like entering a new country and not knowing the language without any guidance or knowledge of the way things work, the language where you are going or how you are supposed to get there. Until now there has been very little help for parents entering the Special Education “maze”, but there is now. It’s Aparent’s Hand-in-Hand program provides classes on both the Regional Center system and the School District system, and offers individual one to one guidance as well as advocacy, referrals and information. Don’t wait another minute lost in the maze. Call It’s Aparent today at 818 995-9757.
