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.
Tea for Sibs Held at Chado Tea Room
In an effort to build relationships and provide support for adult siblings, Lanterman Regional Center and Chado Tea Rooms hosted Tea for Sibs, a Sunday afternoon tea event in early October for the California Sibling Leadership Network (CASLN). The group of adults siblings (18 years and older) met at Chado Tea Room in Hollywood for the first of many social gatherings for the group. Siblings came from all over California - San Diego, East Los Angeles, the Westside, and close to home - to get to know each other and share their stories about having brothers and sisters with special needs.
Check out the CASLN Facebook page and stay tuned for future gatherings. We also look forward to hosting our annual Alson’s Tea event for younger siblings in spring 2017.
