On August 31, 2020, as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic,
the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) issued a state
directive allowing regional center-funded services to be provided
in alternative ways. Alternative services may be an option for
our clients, to make sure that your individual needs continue to
be met.
Alternative services are a way to continue to fund service
provider resources, so that they and their direct staff
workforce remain available to serve you. The Department of
Developmental Services also wants to make sure that California
can continue to receive federal funding to support regional
center services.
