February is National Therapeutic Recreation Month 💛

Therapeutic recreation is fun with a purpose—supporting confidence, connection, coping, movement, and independence for adults with IDD.

Activity ideas to try:
• Music choice + sing-along
• Chair yoga or stretching
• Nature walk + “photo scavenger hunt”
• Simple cooking stations (stir, pour, set the table)
• Turn-taking games (cards, Uno-style, board games)
• Art/collage with a theme (favorites, seasons, emotions)
• Sensory calm time (warm drink, textures, deep pressure tools if used)
• Community outings with a routine (library, café, errands with a role)
• Gardening or plant care
• Volunteer “helper tasks” with support

Small steps count. One activity can shift the whole day. 💛

Our Story

The mission of Las Trampas is to support adults with developmental disabilities to discover their capabilities and to lead fuller lives in their homes, at work and in the community Las Trampas, Inc. - our services include: licensed group homes, supported and independent living services, vocational and developmental day programs. Our services also include health monitoring, nursing care and medical case management by nurses. Our four state licensed group homes, located in Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek, provide the highest level of support to consumers with moderate to severe developmental challenges. Supported Living Services offer a more independent living environment for people who rent homes and apartments in Concord, Lafayette and Pleasant Hill. Supported Living staff are comitted to assisting people with daily activities such as budgeting, locating resources, staying healthy, cooking, shopping and achieving their individual goals. Independent Living Services are designed for people who are able to live in the community with minimal staff support. They may need help in a particular skill such as budeting, menu planning or keeping medial appointments. Each service is based on the person’s Individual Service Plan (ISP). Our Adult Vocational Day Program provides job training and support both on campus and in the community. Local businesses employing our consumers include: City of Walnut Creek, Lafayette Community Center and St. Mary's College. The Adult Development Day Program addresses the needs of those who are medically fragile and/or require more staff support for daily living, social skills, communication, and mobility. The program emphasizes community exploration and leisure activites that promote skills development. Popular activities include: outings to parks, stores, bowling, cooking, crafts, concerts or whatever else the group suggests. All day program participants have access to a variety of activities on the Lafayette Campus that we refer to as the Adult Learning Center. As part of a focus on "Healthy Lifestyles" Las Trampas developed a fitness area for individual and group exercise. In our kitchen, we offer the "Chef's Table" cooking and nutritional classes, food preparation and safety in the kitchen. AccessArt - An art workshop and instructor provide the tools for artistic expression and creativity in different mediums. A sensory room promotes relaxation, stress management and positioning options for people who are non-ambulatory, while stimulating other senses. For over 50 years, Las Trampas has provided the nurturing and respectful learning environment for people with developmental disabilities to thrive, to. We believe that given the right support all persons regardless of disability can participate in their communities.
