Every child's journey is unique, and Early Start is designed to help families access support during the important first years of development.

Lanterman and Friends explains what Early Start is, how to get a free assessment, who may be eligible, and what families can expect when beginning the process.

Early support can make a meaningful difference, and families do not have to navigate the journey alone.

Watch our newest lantermanandfriends.org series to learn how Early Start begins and how services are tailored to support your child's growth and development.

As we recognize National Preparedness Month, we’re highlighting one of the most important emergency safety skills: knowing when and how to shelter in place.

While some emergencies require evacuation, others may call for staying indoors until conditions improve. Being familiar with shelter- in-place procedures can help you respond quickly and confidently when every moment counts.

A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. Watch the lantermanandfriends.org series, save it for future reference, and share it with family, friends, caregivers, and support teams to help everyone be ready when emergencies happen.
