Social Recreation Services Through Regional Centers

This training will help you understand how social recreation services through the Regional Center can support you or your loved one with developmental disabilities. Social recreation includes fun, community-based activities like camping, sports, art classes, and more. These activities help build friendships, improve social skills, and support inclusion in the community. Under the Lanterman Act, Regional Centers can now pay for these services if they are needed and no other options are available.

• What social recreation services are and why they matter;
• Who qualifies and how to request these services;
• Some of the activities that may be covered like camps, classes, or clubs;
• How these services help people stay active, connected, and included;
• How to talk to your service coordinator about adding social recreation to your IPP; and
• Where to find resources and support for getting started.
