How to Apply for Services

People are referred to DDSO programs by Regional Center Service Coordinators, schools, and other human service agencies.

Persons who are at least 18 years of age and current Regional Center clients can tour the program(s) of their choice. The Program Director will acquaint the person and his or her advocate with the programs's services.  If the person wants to attend a DDSO program, he or she will submit an application for services.

The Program Director reviews the application and determines whether the program services match the needs of the applicant.  If a service match is determined, an intake meeting is scheduled to evaluate in more detail the abilities, strengths and needs of the applicant.
