Bonnie Yates will meet with parents Monday, August 24, from 5-7 p.m. at the Stanford Court Hotel, 905 California Street, in San Francisco.
The subject will be a discussion about very recent changes to the Lanterman Act and how it affects your child’s receipt of behavior therapy.
As amended July 1, 2009, Welfare and Institutions Code section 4648(a)(6)(D) requires the Regional Centers to choose the least costly available behavior provider.
W.I.C section 4682.2 now prevents the Regional Centers from purchasing ABA to provide “respite, day care or school services.”
Parents, in order to insulate your child from these changes, you need a strategy for your next IPP. By reservation only.
Please email Jennifer Olson at Jennifer@bonniezyates.com or call her at 310-204-6624.
