Talk to an Education Advocate
DREDF is the PTI for Alameda, Contra Costa, and Yolo counties in Northern California. Our parent advocates provide technical assistance to parents in order to help guide them through the special education process. If you live in these counties and have a child with a disability (0-26 years) or suspect your child may have an undiagnosed disability, you can call a parent advocate at DREDF for assistance:
800-348-4232 (voice/TTY),
or email iephelp@dredf.org.
