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.
Complete the DDS Self-Advocate and Family Survey
The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) invites you to complete this self-advocate/family member survey to help them understand how COVID-19 has impacted our community and changed your services. DDS, regional centers and service providers are working on new ways to safely support you. Completing this survey will identify what’s working, what’s not, and what is important to self-advocates and families.
The survey below includes 15 questions and is available in 10 languages. DDS will share the combined information from all responses on its website. Individual responses will not be shared. Thank you for your time and sharing your experience. Your voice matters.
