In re K.W.
Wanda W., mother of the minors, appeals from the judgment of disposition. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 360, 361, 395.)[1] Mother contends the juvenile court erred in failing to order services tailored to her needs as a developmentally disabled individual before determining she was unable to benefit from services pursuant to the bypass provision of section 361.5, subdivision (b)(2).[2] Mother does not argue that substantial evidence did not support the bypass order, but instead argues there is insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s finding that reasonable efforts had been made to provide necessary services to mother. Mother also argues she was denied due process because she did not have a fair opportunity to show whether she was capable of properly caring for the minors before services were bypassed. We conclude substantial evidence supports the juvenile court’s finding that reasonable efforts were made. We reject mother’s due process claim because she had notice the bypass provision was being considered and participated in the hearing on the issue. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
