A Message from Randi Rios-Castro, CEO

As we welcome the crisp autumn weather and the changing colors of the leaves on the trees we recognize our incredible staff for the warm and compassionate support, top notch therapies, education and mental health services they provide that continue to lift up the children and adults we serve everyday.

Our professional development opportunities, health and wellness programs support our staff so that they can continue the great work that they do.

Last month, we welcomed new students for the start of our fall semester in our Katzen Early Childhood Education Program and our Early Intervention Program, our PROS behavioral health program participated in mental health awareness activities in the community, our day hab programs enjoyed music therapy sessions, yoga and our Self-Advocacy Group presented their Joint Storytelling project to CP State and affiliates from across the state.

And later this month four of our staff members will be honored at the CP State Annual Conference. Congratulations to all!
