OUR MISSION: Empowering families of children with special needs to successfully understand and access the systems that serve them.

What is Matrix?

• Matrix is a parent-run information and resource center helping families of children with special needs (birth through age 26) in Marin, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties.
• Matrix provides information, education and emotional support to parents so that they may better assist their child with special needs.
• Matrix parents gain life-long skills and knowledge to help their children live, learn and participate fully in their communities.

What is the Matrix Philosophy?

• Matrix was founded upon the belief that parents can and must be the primary managers and advocates on behalf of their child with special needs.
• Parent-to-parent support and networking is central to the Matrix philosophy – it is powerful, effective, and allows us to continue expanding our services in the community, particularly to populations who are historically underserved.
• Bilingual and bicultural staff are available in all four counties to serve Latino families.

Matrix Parent Network and Resource Center is a non-profit organization helping families of children with special needs. As a clearinghouse of information and resources, it is our policy not to recommend or endorse any one specific diagnostic or therapeutic program or to engage in legal advocacy.
