Resources for Families

Resources, support, and community

Navigating autism, ADHD, and sensory needs can feel overwhelming. We're here to help β€” with the Family Resources & Support Hub, educational workshops, and a curated list of trusted local resources.

You're Not Alone

Family Resources & Support Hub

We're Here to Help You Navigate Every Step.

The Stimming Co. is more than a sensory gym. We are also a community resource hub dedicated to helping families navigate autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and other neurodivergent needs.

Our goal is to help families find answers, understand their options, connect with services, and feel supported throughout their journey.

Newly Diagnosed? Start Here

Receiving a new diagnosis can feel overwhelming. We help families understand what comes next, where to begin, how to access evaluations, what services may be available, and how to connect with local organizations and specialists.

IEPs, 504 Plans & School Advocacy

We help parents understand special education services, IEPs, 504 plans, school evaluations, accommodations, parent rights, and how to advocate for their child's educational needs. We also provide guidance on preparing for school meetings and understanding available supports.

Homeschooling & Alternative Education

Explore homeschooling options, Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, alternative education, tutoring resources, and educational opportunities that may better support your child's individual learning needs.

Understanding Therapies & Services

Learn about different types of therapies, including occupational therapy (OT), speech therapy, physical therapy (PT), applied behavior analysis (ABA), feeding therapy, behavioral health services, and other developmental supports. We help families understand what each therapy offers, how to find providers, ask about availability and waitlists, and explore insurance or funding options.

Community Resources & Financial Assistance

We help connect families with local and statewide resources, including Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS), Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), respite care, attendant care, family support programs, financial assistance, and other community services. Eligibility and availability may vary.

Parent & Caregiver Guidance

Whether you're just beginning your journey or navigating new challenges, we're here to help you find information, explore available services, connect with community resources, and understand possible next steps.

The Stimming Co. shares information and connections to help families navigate their options. We do not provide medical diagnoses, therapy, legal representation, or government benefits directly.
