CalABLE is a savings and investment plan offered by the state of California to individuals with a disability. Eligible individuals, family, friends, and employers can contribute up to $15,000 a year without affecting the beneficiary’s public disability benefits. Beneficiaries who work can contribute even more to their accounts. Earnings on qualified withdrawals from a CalABLE account are federal and California state tax-free.

Below you will find links to various publications and brochures that provide information for our clients and families. Updates will be made to this sections as new items become available.

The regional center is a key point of contact for families with a family member who has a developmental disability, however there are many other resources available to help families navigate this experience. Links to several of of these resources are listed below.  If you know of a good resource to add to our list, please contact us through your Service Coordinator. 

ACRC develops an individualized plan for each eligible client that identifies what services and supports will be needed to help meet desired outcomes. This is important to understand because while ACRC is committed to helping clients and/or their family achieve their goals, by law, ACRC must exhaust other funding sources, which are referred to as generic resources and natural supports, prior to paying for any services.  Funding questions can sometimes be complex. Your Service Coordinator will support the client and/or family in navigating these areas.
