How long should Regional Center take to assess my child?

When you initially apply for Regional Center services on your child's behalf, the Regional Center has 60-120 days from your initial application to complete assessments and determine whether your child is eligible (or 45 days for children under age 3). Note that the 120-day deadline is calendar days, not business days.

Unfortunately, we have heard from Undivided families that delays are common. If the 120-day deadline has passed and the Regional Center has still not completed your child's assessment, you can file a citizen complaint.
