Clients and Families are served through Client Services; which is the heart of what we do.  Through Client Services, needed services and supports are coordinated by Service Coordinators for our clients and/or their  families. Service Coordinators assist clients and their families with advocacy, connection with generic resources, and integration into community life.  San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center recognizes that service coordination is the primary means through which the regional center carries out its mission.

Service Coordinators also have the critical responsibility of developing an IFSP/IPP for every client and they are the point of contact for clients, families and providers of service.
