The Association of Regional Center Agencies (ARCA) represents 21
regional centers in California that provide services to more than
145,000 Californians with developmental disabilities. Regional centers
are non-profit organizations that contract with the state Department of
Developmental Services. This public-private non-profit partnership
results in the expenditure and monitoring of more than 1.5 billion state
and federal dollars for people with developmental disabilities and their
families.
The function of the association is to support the purpose, intent and mandate of the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Act. Located in Sacramento, ARCA is an advocate, promoting action, legislation and public policy on all matters affecting the well being of persons with developmental disabilities and the prevention of developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities include mental retardation, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism and related disorders.
ARCA facilitates communication among members, conducts research and analysis of issues related to California's developmental disabilities service system and provides public information about developmental disabilities and regional centers to the state and federal administrations, the state legislature, Congress, state and national advocacy providers, and various consumer groups.
ARCA is governed by a board of directors, made up of regional center board member volunteers and regional center executive directors.
