Schedule of Services & Supports

What are they? When people need more than the support of family, friends and communities to reach their life goals, the plan will have a schedule of services and supports. This schedule tells who will be giving the service and support and how it will help support someone's choices on where to live, how to spend time each day, who to spend it with and dreams and hopes for the future. If the schedule of services and supports gets changed by the regional center, people have a right to ask for a fair hearing to talk about why the schedule is important to them.

There are many kinds of services and supports, some of them are:

• a place to live (emergency housing, foster family, group home, supported living, help in finding a place, homemaker services);
• a place to learn or work (education, sup ported employment, competitive employment);
• family support (infant programs, day care, out-of-home care, parent training, respite, voucher services);
• getting around (transportation, travel training, recreation, adaptive equipment); and,
• staying healthy (counseling, mental health services, medical or dental services).

The law says that regional centers must first try to get services and supports from natural or generic places before spending money for special services and supports.
