The State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) is established by state and federal law as an independent state agency to ensure that people with developmental disabilities and their families receive the services and supports they need.
Consumers know best what supports and services they need to live independently and to actively participate in their communities. Through advocacy, capacity building and systemic change, SCDD works to achieve a consumer and family-based system of individualized services, supports, and other assistance.
REGIONAL CENTERS
The State of California contracts with 21 private nonprofit agencies called regional centers; each one covering a different geographic region. The centers are the single agency in each area where persons with developmental disabilities can go for help to obtain services. The Arc of Ventura County is associated with Tri-Counties Regional Center (http://www.tri-counties.org/), which serves the areas of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.
