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.
‘Tis the Season…for Making Ornaments for the State Capitol Tree
For 21 years, ornaments made by persons with developmental disabilities have adorned the State Capitol Tree, and the Department of Developmental Services has put out the request for ornaments for 2018's tree.
Their goal is to contribute 800 ornaments to this year's tree. To be included on the tree, DDS must receive all ornaments by Friday, November 9.
The tree lighting ceremony will take place the first 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 Jerry Brown and First Lady Anne Gust Brown.
