This episode is part 2 in our Regional Center special guest interviews. This episode was recorded in 2023, but wasn't released due to some unexpected life changes, until 2024.
In this episode we were joined by Gabriel Rogan, Executive Director of North Bay Regional Center, Courtney Singleton, Director of Community Services and Beth Dewitt, Director of Client Services. These three fielded questions from our listeners and didn't shy away from the hard questions.
Some of the questions asked were related to:
- Adult jobs and activities
- How to become a vendor
- Discrepancies with approval for items and services
- Service Coordinator trainings
- Why does it take so long to hear back from people
- Can non-insurance medical treatments be funded
- Is there outside of home respite available
- Can thy bring back Sex Ed classes again - Relationships De Coded
- Homebound respite at a family member's house (different Regional Center than home RC)
- Dental Services
- Social Recreational Basics
