Yes. The regional center can pay for self-advocacy training, facilitation, and “peer advocates” if they are included in your IPP.[1]Section 4512(b). Facilitation means giving you materials or equipment, or helping you make and express your choices and decisions.[2]Section 4512(g). If a friend or relative cannot help you, the regional center can pay for a facilitator.[3]Section 4512(b).  If your IPP includes support from a facilitator, you can choose the facilitator.[4]Section 4648(a)(12).
