Chantal's story:
As a parent of a young adult with autism, we appreciate the San Diego Regional Center.However, due to budget cuts and changes in policy, we were required to go to mediation to get needed supports for our adult son so that he could leave our home and stay included in his community. We were able to do this. But how many families do not have the tenacity, the time, or the knowledge to do so?
