Facilitation with Heart: Our Mission

Every child’s fight is a fight I treat as my own. Every parent’s fight is a fight I refuse to let them walk alone.

Facilitation With Heart exists to empower children and adults with developmental disabilities to live lives rooted in dignity, choice, and community. Through person-centered planning, budget support, provider guidance, and ongoing facilitation, I help families navigate California’s Self-Determination Program with clarity and compassion. My mission is simple: to turn barriers into bridges and ensure that every individual’s voice shapes the services they receive.

Personalized Guidance

Offering tailored support to help you understand and utilize the self-determination program effectively.

Compassionate Support

Walking alongside you with heart and purpose, ensuring you feel understood and empowered throughout your journey.

🧩 Family Training & Support

We empower families with the tools and knowledge to manage SDP confidently. From coaching on how to use respite hours to understanding compliance rules, we give you peace of mind and practical know-how.

🎓 Advocacy Across Systems

Because services don’t exist in silos, we step into IEP meetings, 504 plans, or healthcare discussions when needed—making sure your Regional Center supports connect with school and community supports.
