How do I get started with the Self-Determination Program?

Any Regional Center client over 3 years old is eligible for SDP. Let your Regional Center service coordinator know that you are interested in transitioning to the Self-Determination Program.

The first step is to contact your Regional Center to find and attend an orientation (be sure that you sign up for an orientation and not an information session, although these are helpful too). Note that some Regional Centers (such as Harbor Regional Center) are accepting certificates of completion from orientation at other Regional Centers.
