Direct Support Professional Week

Direct Support Professional’s Week is September 11, 2022 through September 17, 2022.  A “Direct Support Professional” or DSP works directly with people with intellectual or developmental disabilities to assist the people they work with to become independent and integrated into their community.  DSP staff are the backbone of the developmental services system and make big differences in the lives of the people they work with.  DSPs, NBRC appreciates YOU!

North Bay Regional Center wants to make sure that we are continuously improving. We strive to exceed our mission, desired outcomes, and that we are in compliance with all requirements.

The NBRC Performance Plan measures our ongoing performance on desired statewide outcomes, and compares North Bay Regional Center’s performance with the statewide average for all 21 regional centers in California. These desired outcomes reflect the state’s public policy direction for developmental services in the community.

We continue to fulfill all planned activities with the intent of improving outcomes as directed by our community members, Board of Directors, and NBRC staff.

You are invited to hear a presentation of how we did on last year’s plan and our proposed plan to provide your input.

We will present the plan and listen to your comments during the Public Meeting of the NBRC Board of Directors on September 7, 2022.

If you have additional input before or after this meeting, please feel free to email:
