Borrowing a familiar book gives you an easy way to revisit the same conversation at home. The branch’s live calendar is the place to confirm event dates and age groups.
A nearby hills-and-trails outing. Use the county map to choose a route appropriate to your family. For an easy repeat visit, choose one landmark or sitting spot and talk about the journey there. You might describe a sound you hear or something moving nearby. Keep the plan small enough for your child’s energy on that day. Check the official page before traveling; a listed facility does not guarantee that every part of the site is currently open.
Santa Clara County’s school-district locator uses your street address or parcel to identify the district. A San Jose neighborhood or planning-area label does not identify the school system responsible for an assessment. Use the returned district’s special education contact. Keep the first request concrete: your child’s age, address and examples of communication at home. Ask who handles an assessment for that age group, which forms are required and how the district will explain the next step.
