Maybe not. Regional center eligibility is individualized because disabilities are individualized. Even if you have the exact same diagnosis or condition as someone who is a regional center client, you cannot count on being eligible. The regional center will look at how your disability affects you. How you are affected depends on if you got early intervention services, help at school, or other services that helped you learn skills.
