Helping Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
Home of the Community Integrators! We are parents and self advocates who support those navigating the California Department of Developmental Services, helping people with a disability like Autism and Down Syndrome.
Integradoras
Parents and Self-Advocates are trained to help families on a peer-to-peer basis to obtain benefits that may be available to us by the State of California.
Integradoras provide an organic community outreach to guide families through the process of obtaining benefits.
Integradoras help identify and address disparity barriers that prevent individuals and their families from receiving benefits due to them.
Our Approach
Our organic community outreach efforts addresses cultural and language issues that prevent families from obtaining equitable services.
Our core values are empathy, validation, trust, and respect.
We help integrate individuals with developmental disabilities with the systems of service and produce meaningful outcomes.
