We’re so glad that you want to learn more about us! This website was created by members of three local Self-Determination Local Advisory Committees from the Northern California Bay Area:

With funding from the Department of Developmental Services, we designed the website as a source of information for the Self-Determination Program (SDP). You can learn about the Self-Determination Program, the steps to enroll, and much more on our website. Whether you’re just beginning or currently in the program, we offer a variety of useful resources to help in your SDP journey.

Currently regional centers offer a number of services and supports to adults with developmental disabilities. This website serves as additional support for those interested and invested in the Self-Determination Program. We hope this site will be a valuable resource tool for participants navigating the SDP process.
