Caseload Ratio

Caseload Ratio Background

• The Department of Developmental Services (“DDS”) is the agency through which the State of California provides services and supports to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
• Each year, DDS provides information about NLACRC’s Service Coordinator-to-consumer ratios.
• This year NLACRC’s Service Coordinator-to-Consumer ratios are higher than the ratios allowed in the Lanterman Act.
• DDS requires that regional centers hold a public meeting when caseload ratios are too high.
  

Purpose of the Caseload Ratio Meeting

• Share information about which of NLACRC’s Service Coordinator-to-consumer ratios are too high and why.
• Get input from the community to be included in the plan of correction that will be submitted to DDS.
