Regional Center Performance Measures

Beginning in September 2021, DDS worked with the Regional Center Performance Measures Workgroup consisting of representatives from all aspects of the developmental disabilities services system to develop performance incentives and measures to promote improvements in consumer outcomes and regional center performance.

This RCPM program has six focus areas identified by the Workgroup, including:

  • Early Start
  • Employment
  • Equity and Cultural Competency
  • Individual and Family Experience and Satisfaction
  • Person-Centered Services Planning
  • Service Coordination and Regional Center Operations

Each focus area has one or more performance measures tied to specific desired outcomes, with corresponding performance targets and incentives.  This is a voluntary opportunity for regional centers to demonstrate performance above the minimum expectations established through statute or regulation.  All regional centers are encouraged to take the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to providing high quality service that is responsive to the priorities established by the statewide stakeholder workgroup.

The RCPM Workgroup was convened and started meeting in September 2021 and consists of the following members:

The regional centers are recognized for their work related to the following RCPM focus areas and measures.
