Why
SDP provides a budget that you and your child determine how to allocate based on the supports they need, which provides more freedom than traditional Regional Center funding.
Guides
Curated by our research team, signed off by experts and parents alike, guides walk you through the entire process, step-by-step. They cover common pitfalls and how to navigate complexities in order to accomplish your goal.
Your child’s person-centered plan (PCP) is an individualized document that will help determine their services, supports, staff, and goals so that they can plan for their future.
