The<br />

<strong>Lanterman</strong><br />

<strong>Act</strong> says<br />

<strong>the</strong> regional center will help you<br />

find and get <strong>the</strong> services and<br />

supports you need and want.<br />

To make sure you get <strong>the</strong> help you need, <strong>the</strong> regional<br />

center gives you a service coordina<strong>to</strong>r. Your service<br />

coordina<strong>to</strong>r will:<br />

• Help you get ready for your Individual Program<br />

Plan (IPP) meeting<br />

• Help you get <strong>the</strong> services and supports in your IPP<br />

• Help you if you are having problems<br />

The service coordina<strong>to</strong>r is usually someone who works<br />

for <strong>the</strong> regional center. But your service coordina<strong>to</strong>r<br />

can also be:<br />

• A family member<br />

• A friend<br />

• Even YOU<br />

Your service coordina<strong>to</strong>r has an important job.<br />

Make sure this person listens <strong>to</strong> you.<br />

If you are not satisfied with your service<br />

coordina<strong>to</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> law says you can ask for a<br />

different one.
