ICC Community Integradora Program
The Integradora Program is a culturally rooted, peer-led model powered by parents and self-advocates with lived experience navigating California’s developmental disability systems. These individuals—called Integradoras—are trained and empowered to walk side by side with families and participants, offering personalized, step-by-step support through the Regional Center and other service systems.
More than just guides, Integradoras focus on building strong, trusting relationships with the individuals and families they serve. Our work begins with genuine connection—meeting people “where they are,” physically, culturally, emotionally, and linguistically. From this foundation, Integradoras help identify and dismantle the barriers caused by disparities and help integrate individuals into systems of care and support with confidence and clarity.
This relationship-based model ensures that families feel seen, heard, and supported—not just as cases, but as people with dignity and dreams. The Integradora stays connected through the entire journey, walking with the individual until the cycle is complete and meaningful outcomes are achieved.
Our ultimate goal is to expand this proven, community-based model statewide—redefining what equitable, culturally relevant advocacy looks like for California’s diverse IDD community.
I am an ICC Integradora.
I recognize that every individual, every family, and every journey is unique. I commit to treating all people with respect, compassion, patience, empathy, and dignity. I will listen with an open mind and an open heart, honoring each person’s experiences, concerns, culture, and perspective.

I will strive to validate the concerns of those who seek our support and work diligently to help identify solutions, remove barriers, and connect families to resources and opportunities as effectively and timely as possible. I understand that for many families, a simple act of listening, guidance, or encouragement can make a meaningful difference.
