Harbor Regional Center Services

Overview

​Harbor Regional Center provides services to individuals of all ages who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, and other conditions that are found to be closely related to intellectual disability or to require the same kinds of services.

The condition must have occurred before the age of 18, be likely to continue indefinitely, and constitute a “substantial” disability for the person.

A disability is “substantial” if it affects three or more of seven major life areas. For example, a person’s ability to communicate or to learn.

The regional center also provides services to infants and toddlers between birth and 36 months of age who have a need for early intervention services, and who meet criteria in one of the following categories:

A primary service that is provided by regional centers is intake and assessment of individuals who may have one of these eligible conditions. During this time we will review any available diagnostic records you may have received previously, and/or arrange for any needed assessments. 

Overview

How do I apply?

​You may be eligible for one of three categories of services.

Harbor Regional Center provides services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or at risk of developmental disability, children and adults with a diagnosed developmental disability, and pregnant women who are in need of prenatal diagnosis and counseling.

During our intake process, we provide assessment and diagnosis to help determine whether you or your family member may have one of these eligible conditions.

Family Cost Participation Program

The Family Cost Participation Program (FCPP) is established for the purpose of assessing a cost participation to parents of children who receive three specific regional center services: day care, respite, and/or camping.
