You’re Invited! Take our Public Survey, Join IRC’s upcoming Focus Groups, and Attend a Virtual Input Meeting, regarding our Locally Developed Public Policy 

Inland Regional Center (IRC) warmly invites individuals we serve, their families, service providers, and community partners to participate in shaping the future of our services and programs. This summer, we’re offering three meaningful ways to share your voice: 

✅ Step 1: Complete Our Post-Survey for IRC’s FY 2024/2025 Locally Developed Public Policy Measure Survey – June 2–30, 2025 **NOW OPEN**
✅ Step 2: Join a Family Focus Group – July 7–9, 2025 / Only allowed to participate once. Look for your language of preference.

These opportunities are part of IRC’s ongoing commitment to improving our Public Policy Measures, especially around equitable crisis response and community safety. 

Why Participate? 

Your voice matters.
Your feedback helps shape IRC’s services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), including those who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH). When you participate, you help make our services more inclusive, accessible, and responsive. 

By getting involved, you can help: 

• Strengthening programs like the Blue Envelope and Safe Return 

• Improve how IRC, families, and providers respond during times of crisis 

• Identify barriers and create more equitable, community-based supports
