Very informative, thank you. Please let us know where the presentations can be located. And thank you all for your time!

In the Bay Area, anyone under 18 can get free breakfast and lunch.

Where can I

Where can I find out more about what behavior services is?

Your service coordinator at the Regional center can assist with respite

also for some riverside county schools lunch is for 1-18yrs... but SPED students age out until 22yrs... so this leaves 18-22 out... from meal availability :-(

:(

So I can go to my services coordinator to find out about behavior services? Would that be considered respite?

@ Brenda...yes

where can I find or who should I ask about respite service options ?

@ Ana, I will look into that

ask your service coordinator

i really would like access for therapy for my almost 15 year old. i used to have safety risk at san Diego regional but Inland regional doesn't understand what I am saying.

i reside in orange county, where can you get some of the behavior services?

Home Instead can help with Respite care thru Inland Regional for 18 years u

What about behavior services?

like a therapist. i have never need them to come to home because they talk to my daughter over the phone. so it would be perfect now

for authorized service codes for telehealth for IRC please visit inlandrc.org Please contact your service coordinator and leave a message on their voicemail or email, email is best for written records.

Thanks for the info!

@trejoboys - CalOptima (Medi-Cal) funds behavioral services in Orange County to age 21. After age 21, ask your regional center service coordinator

Thanks Scarlett.

@ Everyone, please ask your questions as we also have staff at SCDD answering questions from throughout the state

thank you

@Ana Andrade-double check with your school district on lunch for the adult student. We live in Monterey County and my daughter is in the adult transition program and I received a call today from her teacher that she could get lunch at any of the middle or high schools (our district is just middle school-adult school)

Are Tele-health services accessed through our local Regional Center?

are there respite options in northern california, specifically in the bay area where regional center encourages families to get their own person as respite provider?

@ Chandana Many teachers and other classroom staff are looking for work

does tele Heath help with physical therapy my son goes to epu in Fresno for his physical therapy

Mary, we are working on some options for distant learning that I will talk about. Since this webinar has a vast audience, we are covering all bases :)

will the Q and As also be recorded?

What does respite care look like in this time of social distancing?

@Jessica, it can. Have you gotten any feedback from EPU?

@ Chandra, yes

pillow squishes can be really helpful. have child lay down and use pillow and place on back,arm or leg and apply pressure. little to more. excellent for light pressure

thanks

my oldest gets behavior services threw act a change in trajectory from Cvrc in Fresno do I ask Cvrc about what is the alternative?

Hi Jessica,

Yolanda Cruz thank you for getting back hello epu just posted this webinar so I’m hoping after this we get more info they are amazing

Ask your CVRC coordinator if the provider has reached out and told them how they would continue services

I am very thankful and blessed you and the crew got together to create this webinar there is such good info i have 2 pages full of what I’m taking down

Yolanda Cruz thank you will do

Just FYI, I am in talks with the providers in Fresno to see if we can do a similar training for our area

hammock swings and a spinning hook for backyard

Yolanda Cruz AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH

Yes ! I love hammock wings

swings

Some of us don't have back yards or patios. I don't have such space. My living room looks like a rehabilitation room. I have no space for a couch or anything else. But I don't have anything for a sensory diet.

Thanks for the info!

can I have access to the power points I cant write to take notes

Does anyone have suggestions for sleep issues for an adult with cerebral palsy?

www.Special-fit.com is offering free fitness classes mornings at 10am for individuals with disabilities

virtual classes

For sleep issues nothing worked for my son, no medication, melatonin, bed routine etc. The only thing that worked was a changer of diet. No gluten, no sugar, no casein, nothing canned, no preservatives and organic as much as possible

Maggie, I do not have info but have you talked to your doctor?

Thank you!

@Christian, I hadn’t thought about dietary changes. Where can I go to get an idea of that types of recipes based on the restrictions that you’re suggesting?

I submitted an intake application via the Inland Regional Center website on Feb. 24 and haven't heard back. what is the processing time?

Anyone know of online Group Music Therapy ?

@christian I recommend SANHO Dynamic Movement Sensory Body Sock

what about schools, ?

@Charmaine V - Regional Centers have 120 days to determine eligibility, unless there is a risk to health or safety in which they can determine within 60 days.

community@inlandrc.org

thank you

Try the G.A.P.S diet. They have a lot of information on line, they also have a book: GAPS diet the Gut and Psychology Syndrome they will give you a lot of ideas, recipes, etc. If you can follow the diet it is even better.

Hi Paint nite have online paint sessions online for adults and kids, you can purchase the kit from amazon if you don't have it

for those interested in sensory and movement, check out Metric Music Therapy and Neurologic Music Therapist, Peggy Schafer, based out of Santa Fe Springs.

sounds like the empire have better services from their regional center< Orange County doesn’t offer any, if they do i haven’t been contacted.

is music therapy a service founded by regional centers?

i went to a workshop and it had the district, regional center as well a office of rehabilitation. can you do webinars for these workshops?

These are workshops that are conducted by State Council, depending on the area you live in one of us can probably give you info on upcoming trainings

Thank you Ariana

i cant reach anyone by phone at Inland Regional center we got self determination months ago and are all ready to get started we need to know how we can access the funds for the person centered plan?

Is “shelter in place” the same as “stay at home?”

hola Yolanda Cruz, disculpa Centro Regional puede proveer el servicio de music therapy?

Hola, Bajo auto-dterminacion ai una posibilidad de poder hacer eso

will the slides be sent out or located where we can access them?

Under self-determination there are ways to be able to get non-traditional services

y para Las personas que fueron seleccionados para self determination pero no asistieron a la orientation ya no pueden participar?

My understanding is that shelter in place means stay where you are at tht point in time. Stay home is stay at your residence

gracias Yolanda

for PCP plans there is already a service code, reach out to your self-determination advisory committee

So that means not going in to work?

good question James I’m wondering if stay at home also means not going to work!

for those who cant reach people, call, leave messages and email.

Most people in the Bay Area are not traveling to work

I work at Sprouts grocery store and i'm supposed to work tomorrow so ...

https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/

If you need details in regard to tela health options at Inland regional center please visit https://www.inlandrc.org/2020/03/19/service-updates-from-our-executive-director/

the city of la website shows the specifics to the order and what is open and who still works

only essential stores will be open, thus if you work in grocery store, pharmacy gas stations then you need to go to work

Grocery stores are considered essential so they will remain open, reduced hours will be common or limiting shoppers at a time

what is IDD

Laundromats, banks, plumbers are still good

Individuals with developmental disabiliitiew

My hours right now are at 25.5

For our info on COVID 19 and DDS memos and directives please visit https://www.inlandrc.org/coronavirus/

i was suggesting to have someone from IHSS for future webinars

Hi everyone, I’m at reporter at KPCC, the NPR news radio station in Southern California. I’m listening in because we’re working on some stories related to special education and what’s happening in the world right now. If you’d like to share a bit about what your family is experiencing please send me an email at mdale@scpr.org. Thank you.

Are we going to get to hear Michelle Gooldrow

Thank you all for your hard work making sure our voices are being heard

but hours for speech and OT are under our kids IEPs. i understand they are under contract but board of education should cover those

@lvonne - Labs in the state have tested about 16,900 people and at least another 10,000 test results are pending.

Contact leg officials to have your voice heard around IDEA rights!

This webinar is being recorded.

most resources seem to be for younger learners. Please focus on the older kids. Teens that are mod - severe.

i really like lexia core 5. i think education should look into that.

How much time should we be spending on school activities?

YES! And, what it looks like to become home schooling in this environment

Thrive Public school, was shutdown by san Diego Unified school district but they might be helpful. there is zearn for math
