"I think for my daughter it was good to have somebody to talk to that wasn't in the family. Somebody who knew what she was going through. For me I think it was also someone to talk to who was objective."

Since 2005 COMPASS has provided an integrated continuum of services for families, all under one roof.  COMPASS Services include:

COMPASS services are:

  • A low-cost, innovative approach to supporting families by bringing resources together in one location.
  • A process that incorporates a variety of services, according to a family’s specific needs.
  • A comprehensive approach to assist families to cope more effectively with the challenges and needs unique to having a child with a disability.
  • Services provided by interns under supervision as well as licensed professionals.

COMPASS also partners with local community resources by collaborating with and referring our families to over thirty organizations in San Diego County. COMPASS offers services in central San Diego (Mission Valley).
