We guide individuals and families through the California Regional Center eligibility process, including assessments, Lanterman Act requirements, Early Start basics, and service planning. Canaan Cares helps you understand each step and prepare for a smooth, informed qualification process.

The Self-Determination Program empowers individuals to choose their providers, manage their budgets, and design services that fit their lifestyles. Canaan Cares supports participants with planning, staffing, community integration, and goal-aligned services for maximum independence.

Our children’s services include case management support, therapies, behavioral strategies, community participation, and parent guidance. We work closely with families and Regional Centers to help children grow, learn, and thrive at every developmental stage.
