While there are various programs and benefits available to families raising kids with developmental disabilities and learning differences, we all know these resources can be difficult to coordinate and put into place. The Undivided platform is a parent-driven support system that helps families access all the programs and benefits available to their kids.

Whether parents need help getting the most out of an IEP, navigating public benefits, or finding a specialist, the Undivided platform helps families access essential care and services quickly — and with less frustration.

Use the Undivided platform to:

  • Identify your family's priorities with personalized suggestions from Undivided
  • Get step-by-step walkthroughs to accomplish major goals for your child's care
  • Organize medical, school, and insurance documents in a digital binder
  • Explore thousands of expert-backed articles, videos, templates, and other resources
  • Get time with experts in insurance, public benefits, and special education, plus 1:1 parent coaching as needed

Organize everything in your pocket

With the experience and expertise of thousands of families and experts across California, Undivided has built an invaluable database of knowledge that parents can access from anywhere with the Undivided app for web and mobile. In addition to the hundreds of free articles and videos in our Parent Resources hub, Undivided members can access step-by-step guides to help them accomplish goals like applying for IHSS, appealing a Regional Center decision, or preparing their teen for the transition to adulthood.

The Undivided app also serves as a digital super binder to store important documents like an IEP or 504 plan, medical records, insurance paperwork, and more to keep it securely in one place. Easily organize your child's documents and add customizable checklists to your digital workspace to make finding everything as easy as possible, no matter where you go.

1:1 coaching from experienced parents and professionals

Undivided Navigators provide 1:1 coaching any time caregivers need extra help answering questions, identifying priorities, and understanding health and education systems. Most of our Navigators are themselves parents raising kids with disabilities, so they offer empathy and guidance as well as practical solutions to help parents access the resources their families need – including resources that parents may not even be aware of yet. Our Navigators are backed by experts in insurance, public benefits, and special education to provide answers to questions and 1:1 support every step of the way.

Undivided members have access to Office Hours every week to meet virtually with our specialists and Navigators. It's a chance to directly ask experts your questions and get actionable answers right away! Need even more help with a pressing concern? Undivided's education advocates, public benefits specialist, and director of health plan advocacy services can be hired on an hourly basis to help with a wide variety of issues.
