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.
DDS Accepting Ornaments for State Capitol Tree
The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is inviting regional centers, developmental centers, and community art programs to send ornaments to Sacramento for the State Capitol tree. There is a tree lighting ceremony that takes place the first or second week of December. This year, as in previous years, a child with a developmental disability will participate in the televised ceremony. The child will place one of the ornaments onto the tree during the ceremony with Governor Brown and First Lady Anne Gust Brown.
Community art programs may send ornaments directly to DDS by November 10, 2017. Be sure to include the shipping form that is included with the guidelines.
Any other regional center clients and families, deliver your ornaments to the Koch-Young Resource Center at Lanterman Regional Center by November 3, 2017, and we will ship them to DDS.
