Using a map app on a corded phone...impossible.
But this is how parenting a child with unique and diverse needs can feel. With school, therapies, and mental health services to manage, it can feel like being lost at sea.
Let Parent Support Arizona help.
We connect you with advocates who translate the chaos into a clear path, guiding you on your journey.
Need help navigating...
Behavioral
(Mental) Health
In Arizona, the behavioral health system is managed through various insurance and Medicaid plans, making it complex for families to navigate. The system includes a network of providers offering behavioral and physical health care, crisis intervention, and support services. If your child faces emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges, and you need help understanding the system, contact us to connect with an advocate who can assist you.
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY
"AZ DDD" System
The Arizona Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) supports over 35,000 individuals and families statewide. Services for children and young adults include skills training, behavioral health support, daily life assistance, school-to-work transition aid, and respite care. DDD also coordinates medical services like speech therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, and physical therapy. Navigating DDD services is challenging, we can connect you with an advocate to guide your way.
Education
Navigating the education system can be daunting. Our children start struggling and we don't know what to do. We ask the school and maybe they are helpful, or maybe not. The struggles remain. As parents, we often face school staff across the meeting table and feel overwhelmed by what they are saying. The data, reports, and the plans are filled with jargon and perspectives that may or may not overlook our child’s strengths and needs. This is why an advocate can be helpful. We have spent more than a decade supporting parents just like you by simplifying the information, and ensuring they are informed and empowered in discussions about their child’s education. If you’re puzzled by terms like 504, IEP, IEE, MET 1, MET 2, FBA, BIP, and FAPE, We can support you with understanding these terms and refer you to local advocates who can help! Contact us today to get the support you need.
