You Don't Know What You Don't Know!

  • Are you receiving all of the services you are entitled to?
  • Do you know all of the services you are entitled to?
  • Does your child have a home and community based waiver from your regional center?

    You may be entitled to services you are not aware of!

    This website was designed to educate families with children diagnosed with a developmental disorder about matters pertaining to In Home Support Services (IHSS).   The website will also help prepare families for the County IHSS case worker’s initial intake assessment and the annual review. Doing a self assessment will help families calculate  how many hours they need, what documentation is necessary to  obtain services, and  what  facts to point out during the assessment.

    Before the initial intake assessment, have an understanding of what services your child is entitled to.  Educate yourself about the entire assessment process.   Should your child be denied services or there is a disagreement about the number of In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) hours offered, be prepared to support your child with an appeal.
