California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.

What is the ABLE Act?
Do you or a loved one have a developmental disability? Ever wished you could save more money without losing your federal benefits? Now you can.
The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act makes it possible for people with developmental disabilities to have up to $100,000 in savings at any time - and to put away $14,000 a year towards that limit - without losing access to important federal supports.
