Padres con GANAS Academy
We're not "JUST" Parents!
The Padres con GANAS Academy is available to parents of children with special needs. We are based in the Coachella Valley in California. We know that your role of a parent is crucial in accomplishing amazing results for your children. While in this program, you will learn how to effectively advocate for them. We will teach you the necessary skills that will help you work through barriers to improve their progress. Have no fear! We will walk alongside you through this journey by using three levels of support: workshops, skill groups, and one-on-one consultations.

Three Levels of Support
Parents have access to all three levels upon an initial registration. Padres con GANAS Registrants who consistently participate in all three levels have seen the greatest results.
​​​
Consultations
At consultations is where the focus is solely on you and your situation. You will be paired with a mentor who will assist you in identifying your current advocacy skill level. Together, you will create a working plan and create objectives to improve your advocacy skills while working on overcoming the current personal situation. Here, our attention is ALL ON YOU! Currently, consultations are offered in person at select locations, and via Zoom.
Skill Groups
Skill groups meet in-person and are an inclusive environment where you can feel comfortable to share and discuss barriers and practice skills in a group setting to reach solutions while targeting specific advocacy skills.

"Before GANAS, there was anxiety a week before the meeting, and the night before, I could not sleep. After working in consultations with Padres con GANAS, for the first time, I did not get mad at the meeting and night before. I was ok."
