If you missed the event or want to review what we learned, you can watch the full recording here. Parent Sonia B commented in the chat during our live event, “I didn’t know I could apply for this type of help.” We totally understand how confusing it can be to get our kids the services and supports they need, which is why we’re building a community of parents and experts to share resources.
If you have more questions about IHSS or other services, be sure to attend our next live event to ask your question in the chat and hear from our experts and fellow parents!
