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.
