What we do
Undivided offers California families raising kids with developmental disabilities something they can’t find anywhere else: A comprehensive digital platform to guide them through the complexities of public benefits, education/IEPs, and care for their child.
For parents seeking support and connection, our Navigators are parents with a shared lived experience backed by extensive collective knowledge and a team of leading educational, public benefits, and advocacy experts. Anyone can sign up for a free Undivided membership, which provides access to our expert resources and select benefits. Additional paid membership options are available depending on the level of access and support parents need.
Where we come in
All to often families often are not aware of what is possible or available when it comes to supporting their kids with developmental disabilities, and go years missing out on so much.
We construct a customized Roadmap for each parent’s unique needs to ensure parents can efficiently learn about the programs and services they qualify for, map out next steps and deadlines, get organized and access the care their children require.
Why it matters
Since 2020, Undivided has helped thousands of families save time, money, and emotional bandwidth. Whether it’s applying for Regional Center or figuring out the next steps on an IEP, we help parents find their wins sooner than they could alone. Our platform enables families to unlock tens of thousands of dollars in funds per family per year. Parents in our community report a 31% reduction in feeling overwhelmed and a 29% reduction in feeling uncertainty about the future.

Referring parents to Undivided has allowed my staff and I to focus on providing patients with the best care possible by reducing the amount of time we spend answering their benefit or finance-related questions. Not only does Undivided provide parents with the most up-to-date information, but they’re extremely well-versed in the programs best suited for each child, and then they support parents through every step of the process.”
