Service Categories

Service Categories

Overview

 Services provided by our service providers fall into several service categories. Please keep in mind that the provision of services is determined on an individualized basis. Services must be identified as needed on the Individual Person-Centered Plan (IPP), and provided in accordance with Harbor Regional Center service policies, which are posted on our website. Some services on the IPP are provided by publicly-funded community agencies, such as Medi-Cal, Head Start, etc., and some are funded by HRC, after we have met the requirement of exploring all other possible funding sources. We know that you want to understand the variety of services available, so that you can be a well-informed participant in the service planning process. Services generally fall into one of the following categories.

Family Support Services

Overview

Family Support Services

At Harbor Regional Center, we believe that a good support system is a critical advantage for families. A network of information and support gives families a good foundation for navigating the service system, making informed choices, and achieving a better quality of life for the child with a developmental delay or disability. Support is offered in the form of Parent Support Groups, the Parent to Parent Mentor Program and the HRC Sibling Club. For more detailed information on these family support options, please check the HRC website (Resources/family), discuss with your Service Coordinator, or visit the HRC Resource and Assistive Technology Center in Torrance or Long Beach.
