Harbor Regional Center is in the process of conducting an extensive review of the policies and practices related to many of the services and supports we provide. We invite interested Harbor Regional Center clients, family members, and service providers to participate in these reviews. We expect that each service review will take place over the course of several months. Information will also be available in our Resource Centers in Torrance and Long Beach.

We will post notices here of future service review sessions as soon as they are scheduled:

Therapy Services

January 22, 2020 – During the first meeting, we presented a brief overview of HRC’s Therapy Services policy and the policies of other regional centers and we will share shared the written materials we have created for families concerning therapy services.  We also shared information contained in IDEA Part C and the applicable regulations related to therapy. HRC shared overall information about the number of clients receiving therapy services and the overall cost of these services. After the presentation of all of the material we took time to answer questions and hear recommendations.

February 26, 2020 - This meeting was dedicated to presentations from service providers in the HRC service area that provide therapy services for HRC families.  Each presented information about their respective organizations including the different services offered as well as data regarding the clients served. We invited some families who receive these services share their experience with the service and any recommendations they might have.  Again we took the opportunity to hear from participants as to any recommendations they may have.

Draft Report:

HRC staff will prepare a draft report which will:

Summarize HRC policies and practices in the areas of therapy services

Summarize the input we received regarding what works best and what might be improved

Make recommendations for changes to policies and practices

Final Report:

HRC staff will finalize the report based upon input received and will present the final report to the HRC Board of Trustees.
