How Lanterman Regional Center works.
Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center is a state-contracted non-profit organization that coordinates comprehensive developmental services for individuals with disabilities and their families across Los Angeles County. Operating since 1966, Lanterman serves as a regional center—a state-funded administrative agency—that assesses needs, develops individualized service plans, and connects clients with community resources.
The organization serves over 9,000 clients of all ages with developmental disabilities who live in Burbank, Central Los Angeles, Eagle Rock, Glendale, Hollywood/Wilshire, La Cañada, La Crescenta, and Pasadena. Rather than directly providing therapy services, Lanterman coordinates and purchases services from licensed providers, including assessment, early intervention, family support, and skill development programs.
Lanterman provides critical service coordination functions including lifelong individualized planning, assistance locating and accessing community resources, advocacy for legal and service rights, and quality assurance of contracted services. The center also offers family support, training and educational opportunities, and community outreach and education about developmental disabilities.
As a private non-profit operating under contract with California's Department of Developmental Services, Lanterman plays a central role in the developmental services system for residents in its service area, ensuring eligible individuals receive coordinated access to necessary supports and services throughout their lives.

Very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Lee at the Frank Lanterman Center on Wilshire Blvd. I arrived 5 minutes early for our 10:00 a.m. appointment with my young child for early intervention services, only to still be sitting in the waiting room over 40 minutes later. After asking the front desk for an update, I was told the doctor had not even arrived at the office yet, and staff could not reach her. This was especially frustrating because I had already confirmed the appointment through their automated phone system beforehand. As a working parent who had to take time off work and bring a toddler to this appointment, I found the situation extremely unprofessional and disorganized. I understand delays can happen, but patients should at least be notified if a provider is unavailable or running significantly late. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend Dr. Lee or this center it was been a long stressful journey to say the least I don’t recommend. Wasted 3 hours and left with nothing

It’s been 3 months waiting after we completed all evaluations. Many delays without communication, case sitting on coordinator desk, referral center has had out case for 5 weeks, no communication. Contact coordinator Daisy, does not return calls. I’m not happy, services should have started by now and I’ve contacted Daisy 3 times with week including text, no response at all. Please send our case to some that cares. Plan to file a complaint.

I wish I could say something positive. But my experience with this place has been HORRIFIC. DO NOT BRING YOUR DAUGHTERS HERE!!!!! They have absolutely no idea how to spot autism in girls, I had to fight to get my daughter services. We’re supposedly getting them now. I say supposedly because I’ve been waiting OVER A YEAR TO BE REIMBURSED. My coordinator sends me documents referring to my daughter as HIM and today sent me my daughters IPP which referred to my daughter as MATEO! I’m honestly amazed that my coordinator has actually managed to keep her job with the amount of mistakes that she makes constantly. The incompetence at this place is off the charts staggering. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY
