Get guidance by email

Nobody reads an entire operating manual in one sitting. This sends you one manageable piece at a time — one next step, one official program, one question worth asking.

Sent by Mama Mimi Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Step 1 — the basics

So we can send what you asked for, and so you can manage or delete it yourself.

Rules and programs differ by state. This is the one thing that changes almost every answer, so it helps a lot — but it is still optional.

Your permissions

Everything starts switched off. Only the first one is needed to receive email at all, and none of the others is a condition of it.

  • Short emails with one useful step at a time, drawn from published resources and official sources.

  • Lets us send guidance about the topics you picked. Say no and you still get general educational email.

  • News about Mama Mimi Inc. and how the work is funded. Never a condition of anything else.

  • Optional invitations to surveys or interviews. You can decline every one.

  • Off by default and never required. Even with this on, nothing is shared until you approve a specific request that names who receives it.

  • Helps us see which guidance is useful. We never send your topics to advertising or social platforms.

This program is for adults: parents, caregivers, adults with disabilities, educators and professionals. Please do not sign up on behalf of a child under 13.

What we ask for, and what we refuse to ask for

What we collect, and why

Email address
So we can send the guidance you asked for, and so you can manage your own preferences.
State (optional)
So we can point you at the rules and programs that actually apply where you live.
Topics you want help with (optional)
So each email carries something relevant instead of everything at once.
Where you are right now (optional)
So we start at your step instead of the beginning of a process you finished months ago.

What we never ask for

  • Child's full name
  • Child's exact birthdate
  • Medical record number
  • Social Security number
  • Detailed medical history
  • School identification numbers
  • Insurance member numbers
  • Exact diagnosis date
  • Clinical reports or evaluations
  • Confirmed diagnosis of any person
  • Browsing history, search phrases or page-visit inferences
  • Third-party advertising or cross-site identifiers

What this is not

  • Not a lead list. Choosing a topic never turns you into a sales lead. Nothing goes to a provider, insurer, attorney or sponsor unless you separately approve a request that names exactly who receives it.
  • Not tracking you. We do not guess a diagnosis from the pages you read, the words you search or the emails you open.
  • Not a newsletter. No campaigns, no promotions, no countdowns, and no suggestion that you are failing your child by not acting today.
  • Not for sale. Your address and your topics are never sold or shared.
