Upcoming SDLAC Meetings

The Self-Determination Local Advisory Committee (SDLAC) advises NLACRC on the SDP program so that consumers and families have a voice in the development and implementation of the program.

If you need interpretation in any other language, please email your request to selfdetermination@nlacrc.org 14 days prior to the meeting.

What are DDS Directives?

The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) frequently distributes directives to regional centers that provide guidance and instruction on a variety of policy issues. These directives are in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code section 4685.8(p)(2), which authorizes the Department of Developmental Services (Department) to issue program directives or similar instructions until regulations are adopted.

All regional center directives are posted here: https://www.dds.ca.gov/rc/regional-center-directives. 

Self-determination-specific directives can be found at: https://www.dds.ca.gov/initiatives/sdp/program-directives/
