👉 Just got a diagnosis—or feel like something’s missing?
You’re not doing it wrong.
You just haven’t been given a map yet.
1. Start Here
👉 See where to begin building support for your child—and what step comes next.
Takes a few minutes. Shows you what to do next—step by step.
👉 Already have services? Check what might be missing in your child’s support.
Go straight to the Self-Check Tool
Once you know how to start or what’s missing, you’ll know exactly what to build next.
2. The Layers Of Support
👉 What each part of your child’s support actually does.
This supports:
- Autism, ADHD, developmental differences
- Evaluations, IEPs/IFSPs
- Caregiving income and disability supports
👉 Understand what each piece is, why it matters, and where to start.
👉 So you’re not guessing—and your support system actually works together.
Once you understand each layer, the final step is seeing how it all works together.
3. The Structured Household Support Framework (5 Layers)
👉 How it all connects—so you’re not holding it together on your own.
- 🔵 Medical Access
- 🟣 Caregiver Support
- 🟢 Developmental Support
- 🟡 Educational Structure
- 🔴 Sustainability
👉 Each layer builds on the next—when they connect, everything starts to work the way it should.
A support structure is when every layer is in place—and you can see it, access it, and use it without friction.
This is what support looks like when it all connects.
The Hayden Rose Foundation helps families raising children with disabilities understand where they are, what comes next, and how to move through support systems in clear, manageable levels.
What We Are
- A place to slow down when everything feels urgent and overwhelming
- A knowledge-sharing foundation that helps families understand how disability support systems work and how they connect
- A guide for sequencing support, helping families focus on what matters first instead of doing everything at once
- Rooted in lived experience, shaped by parents who have navigated these systems themselves
- Focused on long-term stability, not short-term fixes or productivity pressure
What We Are Not
- We are not a crisis or emergency service
- We are not case managers or service providers who complete forms or make decisions for families
- We are not a one-size-fits-all solution
- We do not promise outcomes, approvals, or timelines within public systems
- We are not here to rush, judge, or overwhelm families already carrying a lot
