Mga Pamantayan sa Serbisyo
The Purchase of Service Policies, referred to as Service Standards, provide direction about the types of services that NLACRC may purchase for consumers. Each regional center develops its own service standard policy that is unique to the community that it serves. These standards are approved by the California Department of Developmental Services to assure that they conform with the Lanterman Act.
Furthermore, W&I Code section 4629.5(b)(5) was amended to require regional centers to post on their internet websites POS policies and any other policies, guidelines, or regional center-developed assessment tools used to determine the transportation, personal assistant, or independent or supported living service needs of a consumer.
Update to NLACRC’s Service Standards
NLACRC is pleased to announce the approval of the modified Social Recreation, Camp, and Non-Medical Therapies Procedural Standard by the Department of Developmental Services. This service standard was revised to be consistent with W&I Code section 4688.22.
Reference to Camp, Social Recreation and Non-Medical Therapies as other forms of services such as family support, respite, and day care were removed as funding of these services should be addressed through respective POS policies.
Reference to Participant Directed Services (PDS), in response to the legislative intent, prioritizing increased access of Social Recreation, Camp and Non-Medical Therapies was added.
