Welcome! Here is a brief background on regional center (RC) and a chart of available RC services. We are actively working to create specific service charts and guides for all twenty-one regional centers. If you have experience with a specific center, we welcome you to contact us to co-create a guide.

Regional Centers

Due to the Lanterman Act, California has a system of regional centers to support local families with disabled loved ones. It guarantees that anyone with a developmental disability has the right to services and supports that meet their needs. Any service and support that helps you or a loved one live a more full, productive life counts as a service or support. This right belongs to you across ALL ages, degrees of disability, and stages in life. There are 21 regional centers across California. To break down this complex system, we have created a service chart to help you understand the services available to you. These include, but are not limited to, diagnosis and assessment of disability, purchase of necessary services, counseling, early intervention, and advocacy. From [insert service] to [insert service], access to services can greatly improve a family’s quality of life.
