Inland Counties Regional Center (IRC)

Inland regional center inc. (irc) provides services to the developmentally disabled population from birth to death. Irc currently provides services to over 33,000 developmentally disabled people in accordance with the provisions of the lanterman act of the welfare and institutions code of the state of California. Irc provides diagnostic evaluations, client program management, and lifelong planning services for persons with developmental disabilities and their families. The areas served include the counties of san bernardino and riverside.

"another way" is a volunteer organization made up of employees of inland regional center inc. (irc) that formed in 1986 when a small group of concerned employees became frustrated that many of their clients and families were struggling to pay for basic needs, such as food, clothing, utilities, rent, medications and other needs. These dedicated employees wanted to help their most vulnerable clients with needs that could not be met by irc because of bureaucratic constraints and/ or strict funding guidelines placed on the agency. The group began meeting during their lunch hour to organize food sales and other small fundraisers to raise money to help their clients meet these needs. Virtually all of the money raised by another way goes directly to help clients.
