Before you start

  • What changed, when, current risk, failed or unavailable services, caregiver change, current IPP, records, incident history, and requested response.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or the responsible regional center, county, program, or contact named in the current notice.

Step by step

  1. Send a dated changed-needs and risk summary.
  2. Request an IPP meeting and identify the service, assessment, safeguard, or authorization needing review.
  3. Track the plan change, authorization, provider response, and any Notice of Action separately.

Expected next

IPP meeting, assessment, written plan change, service action, Notice of Action, or documented next step.

Save this proof

Summary, delivery proof, meeting request, notes, revised IPP, authorization, notice, and owner.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Escalate through regional-center management and preserve the DDS appeal route if a requested service is denied, reduced, changed, or stopped.
