WHO WE SUPPORT
Our program supports parents, caregivers, and their dependents, including children, adults, and non-family individuals receiving care. This no‑cost program is available to clients who have a developmental disability and are eligible for care through the San Diego Regional Center.
We proudly serve individuals from age 3 through adulthood, including our oldest current client, who is over 70 years old.
