What California Regional Centers Do for Individuals with Special Needs

Regional Centers are nonprofit agencies contracted by the State of California to serve individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. They handle eligibility, assessments, and service coordination, and they connect families to funded programs including therapy, independent living skills, recreational activities, respite, and more. Your home county determines which of the 21 centers serves you. Because programs and policies evolve, always confirm current details directly on your Regional Center's official website, linked below.
