The RCEB is one of 21 Regional Centers that is a community-based, private non-profit corporation under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services. RCEB works in partnership with many individuals and agencies to plan and coordinate services and supports for people with developmental disabilities, family members, and community leaders in the Alameda and Contra Costa counties in California.

The RCEB serves people of all ages with developmental disabilities where services may start early on.

Our Vision

The vision of the RCEB is a future where persons with developmental disabilities are a part of the community and receive supports and services they need to succeed.

Our vision is that children with developmental disabilities live with families in typical communities attending their neighborhood schools and playing with neighbors. As adults, they live in a home of their chice, engaging in activities of their choice – work, volunteering, education, training, or leisure. They have meaningful relationships with friends and coworkers and are seen as valuable, contributing members of their communities.

Families are respected and supported and are in control of their lives with respect to parenting their child with special needs. They are seen as capable, competent decision-makers and as major sources of support for their children.

Regional Center of the East Bay builds and maintains strong partnerships with persons served, families, advocates, service providers, public/private agencies and organizations, legislators and policymakers, and the community to ensure a service delivery system that is flexible, accessible, responsive and community-based.
