Vilma Stella Ramirez
I'm an independent facilitator trained in Person Centered Planning and the Self Determination Program with over a decade of experience with the Regional Center as a service coordinator. I've worked with clients between the ages of 3-21 and with LAUSD schools advocating for clients at their IEP meetings. I've helped clients access SSI, IHSS, Medi-cal, Institutional Deeming Medicaid waivers, afterschool programs, summer camps, legal referrals for IEPs and completed hundreds of purchase of service authorizations each year for different programs including social skills training, adaptive skills, floortime play, ABA, modified cognitive behavior intervention, respite, behavioral respite, LVN care, community integration programs, personal assistance, coordinated life services, college-to-career programs, homemaker assistance, feeding therapy and made dozens of referrals to the Promotora program, SSI and IEP legal advocacy. I have connections to a wide range of services providers (RC vendored and non-vendored) which I keep an updated database on. As of December 2023, I've assisted dozens of participants and their families with their person centered plans and transition to the self determination program from various different regional centers.
