Working for a future where all individuals are valued members of their communities.

Alta is one of a network of 21 regional centers in California established by the Lanterman Mental Retardation Services Act of 1969. Alta is a private non-profit corporation working under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services.

Alta California Regional Center creates and maintains partnerships to support all persons with developmental disabilities, children at risk, and their families in choosing services and supports through individual lifelong planning to achieve satisfying lifestyles in their own communities.

Alta provides services to over 16,000 persons with developmental disabilities and their families throughout a ten county area (click here to view the 10 counties served). Each county is unique. ACRC works to develop local services and supports that help meet our mission.
Over the past several years our regional center has experienced tremendous growth. With this growth the dissemination of information becomes more vital.
