Getting started
Four steps from first call to first session.
Whether you're a Regional Center service coordinator, a family member, or an adult exploring services for yourself, the path to working with Enoama is straightforward.
Reach out
A Regional Center service coordinator, family member, or the individual themselves can contact us directly. We'll set up a brief intake conversation to understand what you're looking for.
Referral & assessment
After a Regional Center referral, we obtain the Individual Program Plan and complete a person-centered assessment at home and in the community, within the timeframe RCEB authorizes.
Build the plan
Together with you and your team, we write your Individual Service Plan: measurable goals tied to your IPP, the staff match you'd like, and a weekly schedule that fits your life.
Services begin
Your matched staff start with you at home and in the community. We check in regularly, document your progress, and adjust as your goals evolve.

Our services are for adults 18 and older.
If the person is turning 18 soon, now is a great time to plan ahead. Ask the Regional Center service coordinator about adding Independent Living Services to the transition plan. We're happy to answer questions anytime.
First, the person needs to be a Regional Center client.
Enoama's services are funded through the Regional Center of the East Bay. If the person has a developmental disability, contact RCEB to ask about eligibility. Applying is free.
