Rachel Credo was the Regional Center Service Coordinator for my son before she started her agency. Paul has Cerebral Palsy and is nonverbal, but he understands. As Paul 's care became increasingly more problematic, Rachel was able to guide us through a complex situation. She processed us in a timely manner because she is dedicated and skilled. She works tirelessly to advocate for her clients. With her primary concern for Paul's physical and emotional well-being, she was able to give his family and primary caregiver the support we needed. With Paul's needs in front, she solved conflicts between staff encouraging them to put their differences aside for the benefit of their mutual client. Keeping them on task while allowing both sides to be heard and understood. This is only one of the skills that defines Rachel. Rachel is organized, efficient, diligent and able to navigate complex situations with unusual sensitivity and care. We, Paul, his mother and sisters feel very lucky to have had her expertise and support.

What an awesome Independent Facilitator Rachel Credo is. I feel so lucky as well as blessed to have found her. When it came to explaining the SDP program, she helped me understand what feels like a very complicated process, seem doable, yay! The PCP she generated is perfect. She absolutely listened to everything I communicated to her. When I read the final draft of our PCP, I couldn't have been more pleased. Rachel Credo is an amazing, hardworking professional who knows her stuff. My son and I are so grateful for everything she did for us. She represents those who need her services with precision and compassion. Thank you, Rachel, stay awesome!

Rachel Credo is an outstanding Independent Facilitator. Rachel helped me to understand what services were available to my child and worked to write a thorough and accurate person-centered plan. She was there to guide me through the process of getting a budget approved with the Regional Center and has helped every step of the way. Rachel is reliable, caring, and fiercely dedicated to getting people with disabilities needed services. Her knowledge of the system is outstanding. I cannot recommend her enough.

Rachel offered my son and our family full support in understanding and navigating the PCP and SDP enrollment processes. We needed help at every stage because we had no idea how long the process would take. Although the regional center caused some delays, Rachel never stopped following up on our behalf. She is quick to respond to email, text, and calls. In addition to being an expert in her field, she is also very kind, motivating, and patient. We were disappointed at times due to unanticipated delays from the regional center, but Rachel was always there to console us and encourage us that the wait was worthwhile. We interviewed several independent facilitators and felt honored to have chosen Rachel. My son had just started SDP Year 1, and we were pleased to be able to select appropriate service providers for him. Thank you, Rachel, for all of your help and diligence. We look forward to working with you for many years.

Rachel is an amazing person with an extensive knowledge in her field. She helped me understand the self-determination program, which initially felt like a puzzle to me. Thanks to Rachel, I now have a clear understanding of how the program works. She is always available to answer any questions, making me feel comfortable reaching out to her. I have texted and called her numerous times, and I’ve never felt hesitant or uncomfortable doing so.
---Jacqueline R., 02/17/2025 (HRC)
Rachel is professional and very knowledgeable. She worked relentlessly to achieve results. She constantly sends reminders, follow-up and updates to the regional center. Rachel goes above and beyond to put things in the right perspective. She helped me and my daughter to navigate smoothly to SDP. She is always available to answer questions and to give professional advice. She made this whole journey easy and for that am super grateful. I strongly recommend Rachel!!

It is hard to put into words how Rachel singularly has changed the course of our lives especially in transitioning to Self Determination. She not only has the deep understanding on how everything works but has been hands-on throughout the entire process. We are always her priority and I feel safe moving forward with her in many aspects of my son’s development. There have been so many obstacles and miss guided information over the years and now we know we are in good hands. We never have to do this alone again…there’s no one better!
---Angela, M., 02/16/2025 (WRC)
I felt so overwhelmed when I started looking into the transition in the Self Determination program. I still can't believe how lucky we were to have contacted Rachel. She made the whole process so much easier. We couldn't have done it without her. She is very knowledgeable and gives great advice and suggestions, going above and beyond to make sure everything is on track. She responded to each of my text and question in a timely manner and we are very grateful.

I was so lucky to find Rachel. She is so responsive and completed the assessment and PCP expediently. She understood what the needs were for my son and was able to express the needs clearly and knew how to help me identify services. She understands SDP, and how the services can be requested. She is professional and worked with my Regional Center case coordinator by reaching out and helping to coordinate the budget meeting. If I needed anything she was there for me. I would recommend Rachel without any hesitation. Thank you, Rachel, for all you do.
---Jennifer S., 01/24/2025 (HRC)
Rachel assisted me in making the move to SDP for my son. Rachel is knowledgable and dedicated to her work. She held our hand every step of the way. She continued checking in everyday until the process was completed. She is a true gem! Thank you.
---Michelle J., 01/24/2025 (WRC)
Rachel is professional, precise, and very well-versed in how to go about helping within the system. The SDP can be complicated with codes and terminology one may not know or understand how to navigate. She is very thoughtful, caring, and really wants to help get the best possible outcome for clients. Rachel has done an amazing job to help our son, and we would highly recommend her.
---Paul A., 01/17/2025 (WRC)
Rachel Credo is an amazing human being and has helped me as an adult woman with disabilities, to choose the best path forward for myself. She makes me feel confident, connected, and comfortable like her own family member. She is very hard working with my SDP needs. I recommend her. Thank you!
---Noretta Q., 01/16/2025 (WRC)
Rachel is amazing. I was abandoned by my previous IF and she picked me and my son up like she's known us forever. She's done everything in her power to advocate for his needs. If you need someone that will advocate for not only your child's needs and also you, she is the best person to choose. I absolutely am so grateful to Rachel for all she has done for my family, and I recommend her 100 percent !! :)
---Bianca M., 01/16/2025 (FDLRC)

---Julie G., 12/30/2024 (HRC)
Rachel had been helping my family from beginning to the end. She fought for us to get more services for my son. She is very responsive whenever I have a question. Definitely without her, my family will not be able to get all these services.
---Anh V., 12/29/2024 (RCOC)
I am incredibly grateful to Rachel for her support in helping us to enter the Self-Determination Program. Rachel's dedication, and knowledge made the process go smooth. She guided us through every step of the process and continues to check in on our progress.

It was easy and quick for my son to switch to SDP. A month after his budget was drafted, we were able to get our budget and spending plan certified and go SDP live. Rachel helped us find our way.
