Current Request for Proposals (FY 2025-2026)

BCBA Dental Desensitization Service (Service Code 612)

Redwood Coast Regional Center is seeking proposals from a qualified Board-Certified Behavior Analyst to develop and implement a dental desensitization service for RCRC clients with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) in both RCRC’s Eureka and Ukiah offices. The RCRC clients referred to this service may have behavioral, physical, and cognitive support needs that make receiving dental services in a traditional setting difficult. The goal of this project is for RCRC clients to become more comfortable utilizing dental services in the least restrictive manner, and to become more comfortable experiencing the sensory stimuli associated with routine dental care; thereby reducing the need to use dental sedation and other restrictive practices in accessing routine dental services. Up to $50,000 is available for this project to develop two dental desensitization services to operate in both Eureka and Ukiah. Please see the full RFP linked below for more information.
