EXCEPTIONAL PARENTS
UNLIMITED (EPU)

4440 N First St.
Fresno, CA 93726
(559) 229-2000
THE BEGINNING

EPU was started in 1976, founded by Marion M. Karian. EPU started as a
small support group for parents of children with Down’s syndrome. The name
Exceptional Parents Unlimited was chosen because EPU wanted to provide
services for the parents of children with all kinds of special needs.
35 years later EPU has grown to a staff of more than 100 therapists and early
childhood specialists to meet the critical needs of children and families in our
community.
It’s a non-profit organization.
MISSION AND VISION

The mission of Exceptional Parents Unlimited is to strengthen and empower
children and families facing extraordinary medical developmental and
parenting challenges.
Their vision is that children grow up in families in which their individual
needs are met; their parents have confidence in themselves and their ability to
meet the needs of all family members and have a sense of comfort with their
personal situations that brings forth an internal sense of empowerment.
GOALS

• Promoting the development of infants and children with special
medical, developmental, or emotional needs.
• Supporting and assisting parents as they grow in the
understanding, knowledge and skills needed themselves and their children
experience success at home and in the community.
• Supporting the development of secure parent-child relationships as the
basis for optimal social and emotional development.
SPECIFIC POPULATION-AT-RISK

• The Assessment Center for Children at Exceptional Parents Unlimited
(EPU) assesses children whose parents/caregivers have multiple concerns
about their child's learning, development, and/or behavior.
• The center is staffed by medical and mental health professionals.
Additionally, staff from several other child serving agencies are co-located
at the Center.
• By coming together, these agencies offer Fresno County children — birth
through 5 years of age — and their families, more comprehensive
assessment services in one location. Other participating agencies with staff
located at the Center include Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) and
Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health.
WHO DOES EPU SERVE?

special needs including children with
disabilities, emotional and behavioral
challenges, or who are at risk for
abuse and/or neglect.

advocacy assistance to families
whose children have disabilities
of ALL ages, birth to adulthood.
