Regional
Center of the East Bay The Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) is a private nonprofit corporation under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services. The Department of Developmental Services coordinates services for all developmentally disabled persons residing in California. RCEB has been serving families in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties since 1976. RCEB is one of a statewide network of 21 Regional Centers, each serving a specific geographical area, and each guided by a community-based Board of Directors. This unique system was created by the enactment of the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Act. Regional Centers serve as a recourse for diagnosis, referral and support between persons with developmental disabilities and services in the community. The Regional Center of the East Bay does not discriminate with regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital or veteran status, the presence of a non-job-related medical condition or handicap, or any other legally protected status. |
