Knowledge is power

Navigating insurance, disability, Medi-Cal, IEPs, and services can feel impossible alone. Learn from people who have done it before as well as experts who can help you map out your next steps.

"For the first time since my son's diagnosis, I feel like I'm not figuring this out alone. Trusted Village gave me clarity on what steps to take next with his services, and I've connected with parents who just get it—no judgment, just support."

Why we started this

Our story

We're parents too—our son was diagnosed with autism at 2. In those early days, we felt lost: overwhelmed by information, unsure which therapies to prioritize, and exhausted by bureaucracy. We spent hours researching Medi-Cal, regional centers, IEPs, and special-needs trusts—often learning the hard way.

We created Trusted Village because we wished something like it existed for us. A place where parents could get straight answers, share real experiences, and feel less alone.

Our goal: Help families spend less time "figuring it out" and more time with their children.
