    Hi Vjbunny,

    Yes they contacted us, in 1 or 2 week they did all basic assessment. To qualify for any theraphy or service, it should take around 90 days.

    Hi Vjbunny,

    My pleasure to share the information in this valuable website.

    steps:
    1. Go to the below link to find regional center which provide service for your region.
    Harbor Regional Center
    2. Once you find the regional center, you can submit the online application or call them directly(speed up process).
    3. Always some one will be available to answer you, so don't hesitate to call them to follow up your application.
    4. They will contact you to get collect few information or any documents they want before they start their assessment process. Once they done with that , they will set-up for initial assessment to observe the kid's behavior, followed up by psychologist.
    5. Later we have to wait 60 days, they will have meeting internally and discuss the reports they written to make sure the kid will be qualifying for the service or not. Once they finalized, they will give a call to you. You have to talk/discuss with them to know what are all the service you need for you kid and they will suggest/provide some service.
    6. Usually before 3 years of age, regional center will provide all the services and after 3 years of age public school should be responsible. Still they will help you in providing some restricted service and some suggestions that help your kid a lot.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share the information here.
