A Wide Array of Services

The Redwood Coast Regional Center provides a wide array of services to individuals who have a developmental disability, or who are at risk for disabilities, and their families. Some of the services provided by Redwood Coast Regional Center include diagnosis and eligibility assessment, information and referral, individualized planning and service coordination, purchase of necessary services included in a person’s individual program plan, advocacy for the protection of legal, civil and service rights, and family support. We also recognize that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families have unique and changing needs. We seek to meet those needs by providing information and services that are community-based, flexible, accessible and responsive to each unique situation.
