You don't say where you are in Cali but look up PACES . http://www.paces.solutions/ Martina is a former Special Ed Teacher, director, etc. and is now a professional advocate for special needs kids. She is wonderful. She is located in Santa Cruz. We met her at a Parents Helping Parents coffee last spring.
