HELPING FAMILIES
Transition to Self-Determination
Based on the principles of freedom, authority, support, responsibility and confirmation, this opportunity provides individuals with authentic and meaningful choice and control over their services and supports, and therefore their lives.

Coaching & Supports for Participants & Families
Transitioning into Self-Determination
In 2020, Education Spectrum was awarded grants from the San Gabriel Pomona Regional Center's Local Volunteer Advisory Committee to assist families who were interested in the Self-Determination Program. In 2022, we began training staff and stakeholders at the North Bay Regional Center, as well as providing translative services. We have assembled a number of experienced professionals to help families make informed, person-centered choices. Collaborative trainings and step-by-step assistance is offered in a variety of modalities in order to meet the diverse needs of our community.
Three families tell inspiring stories about their transition into the Self-Determination Program.
