Community Services & Programs
NorCal Care Community Services and Programs
Our Community Services are paid for by Regional Centers and provided at no cost to our clients. Eligibility for our Community Services is determined by a team of Regional Center professionals such as physicians, psychologists, assessment counselors, and others.
An individual is eligible for regional center services if he or she has a developmental disability as defined in the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Welfare and Institutions Code 4512(a).
Children – from birth to age three – who are experiencing or are at risk for a developmental delay/disability are also eligible, as are individuals believed to have at high risk of parenting a child with a developmental disability.
What Is a Developmental Disability?
A developmental disability is defined in the State of California (WIC 4512(a)) as a disability that occurs before the age of 18, is substantially disabling for an individual, and is expected to continue indefinitely.
Developmental disabilities include intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy,and autism. Also included are disabling conditions closely related to intellectual disability or requiring similar treatment.
Eligibility determinations are made by a team of regional center professionals such as a physician, nurse, psychologist, physical therapist, speech therapist, behavior analyst, and assessment counselor.
You are notified of your eligibility by letter within 10 days after the determination is made. Any applicant who is not eligible for ongoing regional center services will be informed of his/her appeal rights and the fair hearing process, and will also be referred to other appropriate resources.
