Many primary care providers lack the time, experience and resources necessary to provide high-quality care for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and they may not practice in settings that integrate the extensive social and behavioral health services these children require. A case study documents how a group of parents addressed these challenges by developing a federally qualified health center that, uniquely, is physically co-located with a California Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities. The study provides information to support replication of this successful model.
