Passbook to Services Program
In collaboration with caregivers in both counties, the Passbook
to Services provides parents with a handy access guide to services.
There are information sheets that can be passed to medical professionals,
saving parents the time required each time their child visits their doctor
or other medical professional. The Passbook is also provided through
hospitals, the Regional Centers, and the Early Start Program. For more
information, or to obtain a Passbook to Services, E-mail us from the link
