Services for Children

San Diego Regional Center provides a variety of family support services. The most common of these which are specifically for children is child care.

Child care is care and supervision for pre-school and school-aged children up to age 12 who require such supervision because of their age or disability and whose parents are engaged in full-time work or vocational training. This service includes both day care for pre-schoolers and after school care for school age children.

Families are responsible for child care to the extent that the cost of such care is the same as that for a typical child. However, the regional center may be able to support and assist families when additional staff or other special accommodations are required in a child care setting, in order to deal with the exceptional needs of the child. Typically, this would include the extra support required because of the child's need for a caretaker who has special knowledge or training related to medical equipment, extreme behavioral challenges, or self-help requirements beyond those typical of a child the same age.
