2026 Vendor Special Incident Report (SIR) Training - LEARN MORE 2026 Updated SIR Form - NOW AVAILABLE! Special Incident Reporting Who Should Report Per DDS , any vendor or long-term care facility staff should report special incidents as required by Title 17, Section 54327 of the California Code of Regulations . NEW: DDS Vendor Guidelines for Reporting Special Incidents 2025 NEW: DDS Regional Center Guidelines for Reporting Special Incidents 2025 Why do we report SIRs? SIRs outline a timeline of incidents that affect a client's health and safety . By examining SIR histories, Special Incident Reporting Coordinators (SIRCs) can identify trends or patterns of behaviors that allow SDRC to provide better trauma-informed care and risk mitigation plans. Why do SIRs matter? By reporting in a timely manner, clients can be connected to resources faster, investigations by appropriate agencies can begin sooner, and we can remove perpetrators from harming other clients thus preventing future SIRs. Phone Reports (24 hours notice) SDRC service providers and long-term care facilities should report special incidents to a client’s service coordinator or an on-call service coordinator via phone call/voice message within 24 hours of incident occurrence. Written Reports (48 hours notice) Submit a written report of the special incident to the regional center within 48 hours of special incident occurrence. The Special Incident Form is to be used by SDRC service providers as well as long-term care facilities. Please use this form when submitting SIRs to SDRC and Community Care Licensing. Written reports can be submitted via Email and Online SIR Vendor Portal (also known as Service Provider Portal). SDRC will accept faxed SIRs, however, we highly encourage written SIRs be submitted via Email or the Portal to ensure the assigned service coordinator is notified. Report via Email Written reports can now be sent to our email vendorsirs@sdrc.org . Please do not send written SIRs to your service coordinator's personal email. Report via Online SIR Vendor Portal After a vendor has been given access, they can begin using the Online SIR Vendor Portal to report Special Incidents.

SURVEYS Community Resource Development Plan Each fiscal year, San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) submits its plan to the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) for its Community Resource Development Plan (CRDP). The projects we request are based on input from our Community Needs Survey that is sent out to our community each year. We seek input (by completing a 2 minute survey) from individuals served , families, vendors, and SDRC staff about which types of services to develop to address unmet needs. We use this input as a guiding tool to determine which CRDP projects to request DDS to provide special funding for its development. Once our projects are approved, we will post Request for Proposals (RFP) for any projects. The National Core Indicator (NCI) Survey is currently underway! This year’s survey is the Adult In-Person Survey. This survey is conducted face-to-face with individuals 18 years and older who receive at least one funded service from San Diego Regional Center (SDRC). The responses are collected by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and shared with the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD). It will be used to help regional centers and DDS understand how services and supports impact participants and their families, and areas of improvement. The survey takes place November 2024 through June 2025. This is voluntary and representatives from SCDD will make contact with SDRC participants who meet survey criteria. We need a minimum of 400 participants. Your feedback is important.

This Blueprint is a five-year initiative that is the result of the commitment between the three departments to provide opportunities for Californians with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ID/DD), regardless of the severity of their disability, to prepare for and participate in competitive integrated employment. Local Partnership Agreements between regional centers, local Department of Rehabilitation Districts, and LEA/school districts incorporate strategies for collaboration and coordinated service delivery to transition-aged youth who are leaving school for competitive wage employment in the local communities. Individuals with ID/DD are connected with community resources and appropriate services and supports from transition to adulthood, including benefits planning to encourage employment.

The Regional Center services provided are based on state law as described in the Lanterman Act. All purchased services must meet both the needs and the choices of each individual person. §§ 4501, 4512(b). Appeals & Complaints The San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) is committed to building strong partnerships with individuals and families and our goal is to be responsive to each person’s unique circumstances and individualized service needs. However, despite our best efforts, there may be a time when an applicant for, or a recipient of, services from the San Diego Regional Center disagrees with the decision we have made. If you disagree with a decision we have made at SDRC, you may ask us to review our decision to make certain all information was considered. Most issues are resolved informally through this process of open discussions with your service coordinator or his/her supervisor (Program Manager). If; however, the matter continues to be unresolved to your satisfaction, you may request to participate in the Fair Hearing Process, which may include mediation, an informal hearing or an informal hearing or fair hearing. The California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 4700 mandates that regional centers shall have a fair hearing procedure for resolving conflicts between the regional center and applicants for, or recipients of, service. This procedure may be used to appeal any action of the regional center which is believed to be illegal, discriminatory or not in the best interest of the applicant or recipient.

These specific rights may be denied only under the following conditions: The licensee or the licensee’s designee may, for “GOOD CAUSE”, deny a resident any of the rights listed under Personal Rights (a) through (g) inclusive. No other right listed may be denied unless authorized by the court system. “GOOD CAUSE” exists only when the licensee makes an explicit finding that: The exercise of the specific right sought to be denied would be injurious to the individual otherwise entitled to exercise it; or There is evidence that the specific right sought to be denied if exercised by that individual, would seriously infringe on the rights of others; or The institution or facility would suffer serious damage to the physical plant if the specific right is not denied; and, There is no less restrictive means of protecting the specific interest listed in (1), (2), or (3) of this subsection. The reason used to justify the denial for good cause of any right must be related to the specific right denied. A right shall not be withheld or denied as a punitive measure, nor shall any right be considered a privilege to be earned. A treatment modality, approach or plan shall not constitute good cause for the denial of any right specified in this subchapter. At the time any good cause denial commences, the person who is being denied any right shall be informed of the right to: Appeal the basis for the denial via the complaint procedure or the Fair Hearing Process provided in Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 4700-4725. Refuse to submit to the denial of right for good cause and vacate the facility (if resident is an individual who is lawfully entitled to depart the facility at will).

Complaint Procedure A complaint procedure is available for clients or representatives acting for a consumer who believe a right to which the client is entitled has been abused, punitively withheld, or improperly or unreasonably denied by a regional center, developmental center, or service provider. Initial referral of any complaint shall be to the director of the regional center. If the consumer resides in a state developmental center, the complaint shall be made to the director of the state developmental center. The director shall, within 20 days, investigate the complaint and send a written proposed resolution. If the complaint is not resolved, additional administrative procedures are available. Service coordinators advocate for the rights of consumers. Advocacy has many definitions, but certainly it requires an understanding and knowledge of the rights of all citizens, the ability to encourage and support implementation of these rights in any setting, and the willingness to intervene in an appropriate manner when necessary.
