This area is meant for those individuals who are new to the entire process of getting their child evaluated and treated for a developmental delay, communication, learning, and/or social relating disorder.  The Unicorn Children's Foundation recognizes that this can be a devastating, confusing and scary time for you and your family.

This area can also be an effective refresher for those families who have been involved in intervention for some time and may need to re-evaluate their child's progress and intervention plan. 

It is our hope that the material contained in our Parent Road Map will provide for you some small comfort and assistance as you journey down this road together with your child. We want to help and walk beside you as a fellow traveler on this journey. Once you get adjusted to our map, come back as often as you can or need to. Let us give you the directions, information, and support to make your journey less bumpy and fragmented and more helpful and beneficial.
