Valley-Mountain Regional Center Inc

I have 2 special needs young adults. They have been with the regional center since they were kids. They have always been very helpful with iep meetings and extra services that were available to them. I appreciate all their hard work.

I was really impressed with how quickly VMRC sent help for my son. He was as 2 years old and showing spectrum signs. Bonnie from above the clouds was always prompt and caring. She felt like family, and my son always looked forward to her visits. She stayed with us until my son turned 3 and was sent to be assessed by sylvan school districts, which denied him services. Fast forward, my son’s kindergarten teacher also felt that he needed services and advocated for us to do another assessment. Sadly, sylvan school district has yet again denied services even though there are apparent language and behavioral issues. Now I am back and looking forward to finally getting him the help he needs. Fingers crossed that he doesn’t get overlooked by the school districts again

The women who work here are so rude and unprofessional. I called because I never heard from anyone after doing the intake for my child and the woman said with a nasty attitude “well yeah it takes long it can take months” I just wanted to see where were at with the process because yes it has been months and I haven’t heard from anyone. I think I’ll start looking to get services elsewhere.

My name is Tony Varriale I from Connecticut you have patient name Tod Williams I have been is father for 40 years family and friends missing him wood like have him close to us like his brother!

The best people out there to help adult and kids

I see a lot of bad reviews here but my experience has been nothing short of incredible. The process of getting services started was a bit rough but that can be with any free services. Our ABA therapist, Reyna has been incredible. You can see she genuinely loves her job and takes it very serious. She goes out of her way every session to get my son re engaged with her so that he can learn. It is also play based, so she gets quite the workout in going over and beyond to help him, which also helps us. I believe the therapists are outsourced from another company but everyone Id worked with besides our therapist has been awesome as well. (I could be wrong about the outsourced therapist.)

Services where ok... Due to COVID-19 i understand all virtual, but i never got the assistance to help me with my son's bitting tantrums and hitting, all the learning has been done through me. If you are refered by ur pediatrician to this place honestly don't. I son's pediatrician is in Manteca, my medical is still in Stanislaus County but I had to move to Merced and here at my home is temporarily, I was getting services virtually and that was fine. But all of a sudden they decided to change my coordinator and now my child is not allowed to get services because we do not reside in Stanislaus county and medical insurance is still in Stanislaus county. Please notify you pediatrician to refer you else where or if you are refered by a school or public assistance get other resources!!!! I am very disappointed this review was just right after hanging up the call. The 2 teachers where amazing that's for sure they listen they should be coordinator but again this place just hires people for session. They want me to transfer to Merced county while merced county said it's up to you they Respected my decision this program is until your child turns 3 my son is 2.5 years old to transfer is a process how long would it take for my case to transfer pick up and start getting services with my son what if in the next 2 months I find a place in Modesto and then again cancel transfer start the process over by then my son already hit age 3. I hope this helps other parents!!!!!!!!
