The Office of Clients’ Rights Advocacy (OCRA) provides advocacy services to regional center consumers who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In 1999, Disability Rights California, then known as Protection and Advocacy Inc. (PAI), was awarded the contract by the Department of Developmental Services to provide clients’ rights advocacy services to consumers of California’s 21 regional centers. Soon, OCRA would become PAI’s largest unit with 65 employees.
