North Bay Regional Center is one of 21 Regional Centers serving persons with developmental disabilities in California. Started as a grass roots movement, Regional Centers were originally established to assist persons with intellectual disabilities — and their families —  in identifying and developing services and programs within their communities that help them lead more independent lives.

Each a non-profit, community-based organization, Regional Centers were established in 1965 under legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Frank Lanterman. The Lanterman Act became effective in 1969 and later expanded the populations served to include persons with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, and other disabling conditions requiring services similar to individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. In 1972, NBRC was incorporated to serve Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties.

North Bay Regional Center, based in Napa, with offices in Santa Rosa and Vacaville serves Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties.
