Ages 0-36 Months

Early Start

We provide early intervention services for infants and toddlers who may have a developmental delay, or a high-risk condition that may lead to a delay. If your child qualifies for Early Start services, we will create an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) to support your child’s needs and your family’s goals.

2 years and 6 months

Transition to Age 3

We will provide you with the essential steps outlined in the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) to facilitate a smooth transition from Early Start services to preschool services for your child. Additionally, we will provide information regarding assessment for ongoing Regional Center services under the Lanterman Act.

Ages 4-13

Children’s Services

We coordinate any necessary transition planning before your child becomes school aged, and we fund certain services that schools do not provide. While children may often receive most services in school, we may provide additional services such as respite, social recreation, camp, or other supportive services.

Ages 14-22

Transition to Adulthood

As students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) get older and progress through school, their special education program is required to focus more intentionally on preparing for life after high school. School transition planning usually begins by age 14, but every family’s situation is unique. Talk with your GGRC social worker about your interests for life after high school.

Ages 18+

Adult Services

We support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) as you navigate different life stages after graduation through retirement and aging. We can provide you with services such as looking for a job, on the job support and paid internships, health advocacy, housing advocacy and housing search services, home support, training to access public transportation, independent living skills education, respite services or other supportive services to help you live the life you want to live in your community.
