What service do regional centers provide in relation to an Individual Program Plan (IPP)?

The coordination of services identified in an Individual Program Plan (IPP) is a fundamental role of regional centers. The IPP is a critical document that outlines the specific services and supports needed for an individual with developmental disabilities, and regional centers ensure that these services are effectively arranged and delivered. They serve as a hub for orchestrating various aspects of care, connecting individuals to the necessary resources and support systems, and working collaboratively with families, service providers, and other stakeholders.

Through their coordination efforts, regional centers help individuals achieve their goals, promote their well-being, and enhance their quality of life. This involves not just identifying needed services but also actively overseeing and facilitating their implementation to ensure that each person receives comprehensive, tailored, and effective support according to their unique needs outlined in the IPP.
