Self Determination Orientation Part 1

The Self Determination Program is a service delivery system available to all who qualify for Regional Center Services. This program allows for individuals to have more authority and freedom in how their services and supports are planned and implemented. Self Determination was developed as a voluntary alternative to the traditional way of providing regional center services. Attend our Self Determination Orientations to learn more about the program or to start the process:

All orientations are done virtually via Zoom. The orientation is separated into 2 parts. You need to attend Part 1 before attending Part 2. If you want to enter into the program, taking the Orientation is required.

• Home & Community Based Services (HCBS)
