(5.23) Can I advocate for myself and others through one of the regional offices of the State Council on Developmental Disabilities?

The State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) has 12 regional offices covering different areas of the state. These offices provide services to people with developmental disabilities and their families. They provide:

  • advocacy assistance,
  • training,
  • monitoring of regional centers and disability service systems, and
  • public information.

Regional offices must make sure people with developmental disabilities, their families, and the public is involved in each of the 12 areas. Regional advisory committees advise the regional offices about this.[1]Section 4544. If you want to serve on the advisory committee to your regional office, call that office and tell them.
