Valley Mountain Regional Center serves children and
adults with developmental disabilities in San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Amador,
Calaveras and Tuolumne counties.
Free diagnosis and assessment services are available to
any person suspected of having a developmental disability, such as
mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or autism.
To qualify for ongoing supports and services, a person must
be found to have a developmental disability which began before the age of
18 and is a substantial handicap.
Early intervention services are offered to infants and
toddlers (under age three) who are believed to be at high risk of
developmental delay.
Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis are available
to women believed to be at risk of giving birth to a child with a
developmental disability.
