Developmental Disabilities Support: Empowering Families, Building Inclusive Communities
Supporting families navigating developmental disabilities with culturally responsive services, advocacy, and a strong foundation of developmental disabilities support.
At Families United, we are committed to providing comprehensive developmental disabilities support for all families. As a dedicated disability resource center, we connect you with early intervention services, family support services, and support groups for families—ensuring you have access to vital special needs resources every step of the way.
Families United was born out of a vision to create a more equitable, inclusive, and supportive world for families—including American families united by shared experiences—navigating the complexities of developmental disabilities. Through our focus on disability inclusion and the Families United Network, we make sure that whenever a family needs help, they have a community to turn to and the support they deserve.
You Bring Hope
Our mission is to empower families of children with developmental disabilities by connecting them to vital services, special needs resources, and developmental disabilities support. As part of the Families United Network, we are committed to making sure every family can navigate the complex systems of care, education, and advocacy with confidence and clarity.
Whether you’re seeking guidance from a disability resource center, need advocacy, want to access early intervention services, or are looking for support groups for families, we are here to help. We understand that when a family needs help, having reliable family support services can make all the difference.
Together, through disability inclusion and community-driven family support, we can build a brighter future for all American families united by a commitment to care.

Why It’s Important: The Regional Center provides critical family support services and special needs resources for children with developmental disabilities, and navigating the intake process can be confusing. We simplify it for you as part of the Families United Network.

Community Resource Referrals
Why It’s Important: No family should have to struggle alone. If your family needs help, we help bridge the gap between families and the community resources available to them.
Navigators to Leaders Program
What We Do: Our flagship Navigators to Leaders program, funded by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), trains parents, family members, case managers, and community members to become leaders and advocates within their communities.
Why It’s Important: By empowering families to become advocates, we create a ripple effect of change in underserved communities, furthering the mission of Families United and supporting disability inclusion for all.
