We were proud to welcome Laura Nakamura, current Mayor of Concord, to the Adaptive Learning Center for a special visit recognizing our impact during Autism Awareness Month.

Being acknowledged in this way means a great deal to our community, and we’re grateful to share this moment together.

Founded in 1988, Adaptive Learning Center is dedicated to supporting adults with I/DD. Through programs like Community Connections, Vocational Support, and Independent Community Living Services, ALC helps individuals build independence, confidence, and meaningful connections in their communities.

This recognition reflects the commitment of our members, staff, and families who bring ALC’s mission to life every day.

Thank you, Mayor Nakamura, for your time, support, and for celebrating with us, we truly appreciate it.

✨ We’re excited to launch something new at ALC! ✨

Our very first Maker Space Program: One of our first pop-up groups, Resin Art is officially underway and it’s already full of creativity, color, and design. 🎨

Members explored the process of working with resin, from mixing and pouring to designing their own unique pieces using beads, glitter, flowers, and more. Every creation was a reflection of personal style and imagination, making each piece truly one of a kind.

Beyond the art itself, this experience was about trying something new, building confidence, and creating in a supportive, hands-on environment. Watching everyone collaborate, experiment, and take pride in their work was incredible.

This is just the beginning for ALC Maker Space, we can’t wait to see what we create next! 💫

🎣☀️ Today, our Community Connections group headed out to the Emeryville Marina Pier for a fishing trip alongside our Executive Director, Anthony, and it did not disappoint! There’s something special about being by the water, casting a line, and sharing the experience together.

Our members embraced the moment, showing patience, focus, and teamwork as they learned and practiced their fishing skills. The highlight of the day? 🎉 Amy caught a stingray! What an exciting and unforgettable moment that had everyone cheering her on!

Sometimes game night looks a little different… and that’s exactly the point. 🎮✨

At Adaptive Learning Center, game night isn’t just about cards on the table, it’s about connection, choice, and creating space for everyone to be engaged in what they love.

Whether it’s a competitive round of cards, teaming up on a video game, or cheering each other on from across the room, our members are building community, practicing social skills, and having a whole lot of fun along the way.

Different games. Different styles. Same goal: belonging. 💙

There’s something special about creating from start to finish 🌿

Our clay making group began in the ALC garden, where members thoughtfully selected flowers and greenery to use in their designs. Back in the studio, they sculpted and shaped their own custom coasters, carefully pressing their chosen natural elements into the clay to create one of a kind pieces.

This activity blended creativity, mindfulness, and connection to nature, resulting in beautiful pieces that reflect each member’s unique style 🌼

Today we recognize World Autism Awareness Day 💙

At Adaptive Learning Center, we celebrate the unique strengths, perspectives, and voices of individuals with I/DD, not just today, but every day. Awareness is important, but true impact comes from acceptance, inclusion, and creating spaces where everyone can thrive.

We are proud to support our members in building independence, connection, and opportunities that reflect who they are and what they’re capable of.

Let’s keep listening, learning, and leading with inclusion, rooted in a person-centered approach that puts each individual first. 💙

Night Owls is one of our favorite monthly traditions! 🌙✨

Once a month, our group heads out for a night on the town, enjoying a meal together, exploring the community, and making meaningful memories along the way. From great conversations to lots of laughter, it’s always a night to look forward to.

A very special temp coworker joined our team this past week - Spicy Girl! 🦎

From greeting visitors to helping keep the front desk running smoothly, it was a fun and memorable moment that brought plenty of smiles to campus. Opportunities like this help our members build confidence, practice vocational skills, and share a bit of their personality with the community.

You never know who might be working the front desk at ALC!

Members spent an amazing day at Oracle Park! ⚾️

During this special visit, they had the chance to step inside the players’ batting cages, hold special memorabilia like a World Champion ring, and take photos with the World Series trophies. The day also included a walk out on the stadium field and, of course, enjoying some classic garlic fries!

Experiences like this allow our members to explore iconic places, create lasting memories, and stay connected with the community.
