Provisional Eligibility Program
Children 0 to 5 years old may be eligible for regional center services under the Lanterman Act provisionally. The child does not need to be found to have a developmental disability to be eligible. However, the child must:
- Have a disability that is not solely physical in nature, and
- Must have significant functional limitations in at least two of the following areas:
- Self-care
- Receptive and expressive language
- Learning
- Mobility
- Self-direction
A provisionally eligible child will have a review of records prior to age five to determine if a substantially handicapping developmental disability is present.
To apply or re-apply for services, e-mail intake@nlacrc.org or contact the Intake referral line at (818) 778-1900.
If you currently receive Early Start services, ask your service coordinator for more information.
