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:

1. Have a disability that is not solely physical in nature, and
2. 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.
