Welcome to the newly revised website of the Integrated Community Collaborative (ICC)! We are thrilled to launch this new space...
Home to ICC Community Integradoras, parents and self-advocates providing peer-to-peer support and advocacy to families navigating California’s systems of care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Autism and Down Syndrome.
Our flagship program. Every Thursday, ICC hosts a virtual Community Cafecito—an open, culturally-rooted space where families, self-advocates, and invited guests come together to connect, learn, and support one another.
ICC is a Latino-led, parent- and self-advocate-driven community basedorganization dedicated to empowering individuals with IDD and their families. Advocating for, equity, access, and equality.
We are a community-based organization dedicated to creating a more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate world for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Guided by the voices, lived experiences, and leadership of self-advocates and parents, we advocate at the grassroots level to strengthen communities, empower families, and promote meaningful systems change. Our mission is to advance equity, expand opportunities, and eliminate disparities in access to services and supports. Through advocacy, education, leadership development, and community engagement, we strive to ensure that every individual is treated with dignity, has access to the resources they need, and is empowered to live a self-directed and meaningful life. Together, we are building stronger communities where all people can thrive, contribute, and belong.
Our programs target the multi-generational IDD home and are designed to engage, uplift, inform, and empower family members—particularly those from Latino, monolingual, and historically underserved communities.
“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.”
~ Cesar Chavez
ICC Cafecitos have welcomed an impressive array of guest speakers and thought leaders, including legislators, regional center executives, disability rights advocates, policy experts, researchers, self-advocates, and other leaders from across California’s intellectual and developmental disability community. Through these conversations, participants receive timely updates, practical information, and direct access to decision-makers while helping shape a stronger, more informed, and more empowered community. Cafecitos are about connection, collaboration, and transformation—creating a space where every voice matters, every experience is valued, and every participant has the opportunity to learn, lead, and contribute to positive change.
