Regional Center Directives

DDS frequently distributes guidance and instructions on policy issues to regional centers (RCs).  Documents marked as Directives are instructions RCs must follow. Program Guidelines are rules RCs must follow for specific programs.  Guidance documents share details on items RCs are encouraged to do or approaches to consider, but are not mandated.  Correspondence documents are how DDS shares helpful information with the RCs. All RC directives, correspondence, guidance, and program guidelines are posted on this page.
