If you believe that the regional center has wrongly or unfairly denied your rights, you may file a complaint with the Clients’ Rights Advocate. This process resolves complaints other than disputes about eligibility or the nature, scope, or amount of services—which are resolved by filing for a fair hearing.

In either case, you may contact TCRC’s Clients’ Rights Advocate:

Erica Clark, Clients’ Rights Advocate/Attorney
erica.clark@disabilityrightsca.org

Gina Gheno, Assistant Clients’ Rights Advocate
