Lanterman Launches Network of Care Site Featuring Integrated Community Resources
On Lanterman’s Network of Care site you will find a listing of community-based resources for children and adults that are close to where you live. The resources on the site are searchable by several criteria, including by category of the resource, and location/area.The initial groups of resources we are making available primarily focus on social/recreational, preschool and day care options. As the site continues to grow, we will be adding additional resources in other categories, such as medical, dental and transportation. This site is designed to only include resources that integrate children and adults with developmental disabilities into regular programming and activities with their non-disabled peers. Specialized programs serving only people with developmental disabilities are not listed.
