We can't say enough good things about Inland Regional Center and especially our Early Intervention Services Coordinator, Demi Easley. As foster parents, navigating early intervention services for our foster baby felt overwhelming at first, but Demi made the entire process smooth, clear, and compassionate from day one. Our foster baby was evaluated quickly through the Early Start Program, and Demi made sure we understood every step — from the evaluation results to getting her referred for speech, occupational, and physical therapy. They were responsive, warm, and genuinely invested in our baby's wellbeing, not just checking boxes on a form. Foster care already comes with so much uncertainty, and having someone like Demi in our corner, advocating for early therapy and support, has made a world of difference for our little one's development. We are endlessly grateful to Demi and the whole team at Inland Regional Center for the care and attention they've given our family.

Be prepared to wait months if not years to get even an appointment for an evaluation here. Received an email after submitting a 13 page intake packet that it will take approximately 20 weeks before a "vendor"?? Calls me to schedule an appointment for an evaluation for my autistic son. Early intervention is not possible with this system.

Its been nearly 8 months and still waiting. After several calls and emails, there's been no accountability. I had plans to to move within county but because of this process no more an option. Instead of losing sanity in this process, it will be better to move to another county. UPDATE : NOW OVER 9 MONTHS Here's a copy of letter sent to intake coordinator. I am writing to formally request immediate supervisor involvement regarding my son's Regional Center intake process. It has now been approximately nine months since we began this process. Throughout this time, I have repeatedly been advised that the intake process would take approximately eight months or less. Despite numerous follow-up attempts, we remain without answers, without services, and without a clear timeline for completion. Last week, I specifically requested a supervisor escalation and was informed that a supervisor would contact me. As of today, I have received no response. I am extremely concerned because my son's needs have increased significantly during this delay. Over the past nine months: • Self-injurious behaviors have increased. • Elopement and safety concerns have increased. • Behavioral challenges have become more difficult to manage. • He remains not potty trained. • He is not currently attending school. • He continues to have significant communication and developmental needs. • Our family continues to struggle without the support and services we have been seeking through this process. These are not minor concerns. They directly impact my son's safety, development, and quality of life. As a single parent and primary caregiver, I have done everything requested of me throughout this process. However, after nine months of waiting and multiple attempts to obtain assistance, I am increasingly concerned that the continued delay is preventing my son from accessing services that may help address his escalating needs. I am respectfully requesting the following: Immediate contact from a supervisor. A written update regarding the current status of his intake process. An explanation for why the intake timeline has exceeded the timeframe originally provided. A specific timeline for completion of the intake and eligibility determination. Identification of any additional steps needed from me so this matter can move forward without further delay. Given the increasing safety concerns involving self-injury and elopement, I am requesting a response within two business days. If I do not receive a response, I will seek further assistance through Regional Center management to obtain clarification regarding the status of this case. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely,
