If your child would benefit from services from The Regional Center, we will do all that we can to get you into the program. The Regional Center is a non profit organization that provides community based services to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Representing you as an authorized representative, Ms. Chemelniker will educate and familiarize you with potential services that are attainable based on your child’s needs. A2z Advocacy consulting will be there to help you navigate through every avenue.

Regional Centers are private non-profit organizations that are set up throughout the state of California and divided up by regions. The Regional Centers are responsible for providing services and support to those with developmental disabilities and their families all over the state of California and ultimately upholds the laws set forth by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
Regional Centers are responsible for providing diagnosis and assessment of eligibility and they help plan, access, coordinate and monitor the services and supports that are needed because of a developmental disability. After eligibility is determined then a Service Coordinator is typically assigned to help develop a plan for services, explain where services are available, and help you obtain the approved services for your child.
