The Parent Hospital Association advocates for residents of Sonoma Developmental Center and others with developmental disabilities. PHA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the State of California.
The developmental centers will always be needed for those who are so severely disabled and have multiple disabilities, such as blindness and deafness, severe seizures and severe behavior disorders. We want these centers to be accessible to any and all who need this specialized care.
Developmentally disabled people who live at home or in other settings, who can benefit from this care by the developmental center's professional staff, should also have access to these services.
You can support our vision for the future of the Sonoma Developmental Center as a center of excellence and continuing community resource by visiting our website at http://www.parenthospitalassociation.org/vision.html and adding your name to the list of those supporting our Vision for the Future of Sonoma Developmental Center.

The original goal of the PHA was to improve conditions and advocate on behalf of all people with mental retardation and/or multiple disabilities. As a result of this advocacy, the Lanterman Act was enacted guaranteeing services to the most vulnerable.
Families with loved ones living at SDC are grateful for the compassion and specialized care afforded them and share California's pride in the great achievements benefiting this special population.
