A PROCESS FOR CONSUMERS OR APPLICANTS AGE 3 YEARS AND OLDER
The fair hearing process is a process for resolving disagreements between the regional center or state developmental center and consumers or applicants who are age three or older. For disagreements involving consumers or applicants who are UNDER three years of age, refer to Early Start Mediation and Due Process Hearing Requests.
Under the fair hearing process, disagreements may be about services, eligibility or any decision or action of the regional center or state developmental center with which you disagree. The fair hearing process includes a voluntary informal meeting, mediation, and a fair hearing. The fair hearing brochure and necessary forms to file for a fair hearing and withdraw from a fair hearing are available from your local regional center or by using the following links. If you have questions about the fair hearing process, you may contact your local regional center or the Department of Developmental Services at (916) 651-6309.
