North OC Group
For 23 years, we've appreciated how he cares for others. He regularly asks his teammates if they liked the day's activities or if they had a good weekend. When not conversing, he's requesting Michael Jackson music and to, "Turn it up!"
This smile has been attending for over 31 years! She enjoys meeting new people, hairbands, gold jewelry, and socializing with her friends.
One of our best shoppers enjoys earning and spending her pay. Her favorite aisles include totes, wallets, and accessories. She loves a good conversation and expressing her herself and her dreams.
We are so proud of how far our individual has come! The social progress and new relationships with peers and family have been a gift - especially to him.
One of the first to help her coach and peers with the door, she enjoys socializing and laughing with her friends and staff. She rarely misses a day and has never met a community outing she didn't like!
One of our friendliest, happiest individuals greets his peers and staff with a smile and thumbs up. He truly enjoys each day and wants those around him to feel the same.
South OC Group
Always the first to introduce herself, she makes new people feel welcomed and happy. She loves time with her preferred peers and LOVES buying lunch on Fridays.
When she first started, we relied on observations to learn about her. One karaoke party later...she knows most pop songs and their dances - and she can sing!!
After 16 years with us, he has improved his patience, self-advocacy, and participation - without losing his talent for math! He has the most interesting questions and the best laugh!
One of our recent enrollees has made an impression quickly. He is the first to return a peer's lunch they left behind or hand staff a pen they forgot. He is also our biggest bowling fan and even saved for bowling shoes!
Los angeles county group
She recently celebrated 20 years with us and remembers each one! She knows everyone's birthday and even some anniversaries. She is thoughtful and loves to have fun. She started a tradition with staff and takes them to coffee on their birthdays - her treat.
Every one of his 19 years here has included his kindness and consideration for those around him. He enjoys a great meal and good conversation with staff and peers - and his "sweetie" of over 20 years!
