Helpful to know

School support and insurance support usually do not run through the same doorway.

California families often have more than one system to work through at the same time.

  • A school district evaluation helps decide special education eligibility and school services.
  • A medical or insurance evaluation is a separate path for diagnosis, treatment, and coverage.
  • You will also find official outing links here for DAS, access passes, maps, and calmer care spaces.
  • Families can browse playplaces, speaking tools, fidgets, swings, and fort-building ideas in the same hub.

This California note is a practical guide for families and not legal advice. When in doubt, the official school and insurance pages below can help you prepare for both conversations.
