The Journey to Self Determination Starts Here

Daniel and Kim Fortune — educators, advocates, and parents. We help California Regional Center families enter the Self-Determination Program with a Person-Centered Plan rooted in your child's goals, strengths, and dreams.

Your child’s plan should fit their life— not the system’s.

Independent Facilitators like us are here to guide you every step of the way. We work for your family—helping you understand the Self-Determination process and advocating for what your child needs to thrive in life.

From your first consultation about the Self-Determination Program to the day you transition to SDP, we are by your side every step of the way, providing guidance, support, and advocacy throughout the process.

Dream Building Consultants live up to their name in the sense that they really do work miracles and are a dream to work with. They listen to your needs and always make themselves available to address your questions. They go out of their way to accommodate you but also advocate for you and what is fair when navigating the Self Determination Program. They guide you every step of the way and I'm so glad I've had the pleasure of working with them.

Noemi's son enjoying a guitar lesson at home.
I am so grateful for Kim from Dream Building Consultants for everything she has done for our family. She helped us successfully transition into SDP and truly fought for my son's needs every step of the way. Because of her dedication, we were able to get him services that have made a huge difference in his life, including guitar lessons and at-home physical therapy. She also helped secure an increase in respite hours that we had needed for a long time. After many stressful attempts and long periods of waiting, Kim made it happen. She didn't take no for an answer and continued to advocate for us when things felt overwhelming. I am incredibly thankful for both Kim and Daniel for standing by my son and fighting for him. Their support and persistence mean more to our family than words can express.
