One of Regional Center of Orange County’s (RCOC) primary roles is to connect parents with resources and service providers that can meet the individualized needs of their child with developmental disabilities. However, there is no doubt that a loving parent who is informed and engaged is every child’s best resource.
RCOC organizes a range of workshops, seminars and training sessions for parents new to the regional center, as well as those seeking advanced learning opportunities.

Behavior Management Workshops
Regional Center of Orange County offers these workshops at no cost to parents. To gain the most value from them, parents are encouraged to attend all sessions in a series.
The Behavior Management workshop covers essential principles of positive behavior management, with a practical focus on helping parents of children with developmental disabilities change their own behavior and that of their children.
The Social Skills Training workshop is focused on helping parents nurture social skills among children. In all of the workshops, parents are actively involved, and invited to discuss the specific behavioral challenges they are confronting.
Advance reservations are required and group size is typically limited to 40-45 families. RCOC does not provide childcare. Please do not bring your children.
Contact your Service Coordinator or RCOC’s Health Resources Coordinator at (714) 796-5223 for additional information regarding dates, times and locations, and to register.
