6Disagreements with the Regional Center The Lanterman Act says you have the right to ask questions and talk about the decisions the regional center makes about you and your life. There will be times when you don’t agree with the regional center’s decision. When this happens, the Lanterman Act gives you steps you can take so you and the regional center can try to solve the problem. Like most laws, you have to follow certain steps carefully, and the law gives you a certain number of days for you and the regional center to come up with a better plan. REMEMBER, if you do not agree with a regional center decision, you must tell them IN WRITING. Tip If you have trouble writing, the regional center must help you write your complaint. 34
