Training and Development Opportunities

Lanterman Regional Center is commited to enhancing the knowledge and skills of our clients, families, staff, service providers, and board members. As part of our goal of promoting lifelong learning and education, Lanterman offers a number of in-house training opportunities. Opportunities are broken down into several general categories: client training, family training and service provider training. We also provide information regarding external training and events that may be of benefit to Lanterman community members.

Brazelton Early Intervention Education Fund
The Brazelton Early Intervention Education Fund was established to promote families and professionals to seek new and innovative methods to enhance and support the development of children birth to three. The fund is designed to supplement training costs for parent and professional teams. Applicants must be a parent of a child under the age of three who is receiving Early Start services and a professional partner who works with children with special needs from birth to three years of age. Additional guidelines are as follows:

• Scholarships are intended to supplement available funding for local education or training opportunities. State Early Start activities are not considered training opportunities for the purposes of these funds.
  
• Application must include primary funding source and the amount being requested as a supplement. Funds are not for reimbursement to programs or persons for fees paid in advance. No “after the fact”
  reimbursements.
  
• Checks will be made out to the event coordinator only. No cash awards will be made.
  
• Applicants will be awarded funds one time only per year.
  
• Applications must be submitted 60 days prior to the event.
