The last several weeks have seen an unprecedented request for help from many of our families who have experienced layoffs and furloughs with the most basic of needs – groceries.
Only several weeks into this crisis, we have accessed much of the funds available in the Help Fund, way more than we expected, and we only anticipate it will become greater as the shutdown continues. We’re humbly asking for those among the Lanterman community that are able to, to contribute whatever amount they can to the Help Fund. So when families ask for help, we will have the funds to say YES.

The California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) is a cross agency network developed to support the understanding and use of evidence based practices (EBPs) for individuals affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). CAPTAIN members include regional centers, school districts, government agencies, university training centers and family resource centers. Through the CAPTAIN Web site, parents and professionals have access to trainings and resources in Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) that are culturally sensitive, family centered, cost effective, and competency based through local SELPA, regional center, and family resource center nominated cadre members.
CAPTAIN members at Lanterman work with community professionals and local education agencies to extend knowledge about autism and evidence-based practices to parents, service coordinators and service providers in our community. Small group trainings on various topics related to evidence-based practice and autism are offered through the Lanterman parent and client support groups and larger trainings are also available periodically to our Lanterman service provider community. Learn more about upcoming training opportunities in autism and evidence-based practices for families, service providers and community professionals through the Lanterman Web site.
California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.
