Business and Community Partnerships

|
Being a dynamic member of our community entails effective participation and involvement with a variety of institutions and organizations, whose visions and goals are aligned with ours. Through this outreach effort we learn from each other and join efforts to improve the educational and therapeutic standards in our communities. Some of our current partners include:
Institute for the Redesign of Learning (IRL) 
The Almansor Center, under the auspices of the Institute for the Redesign of Learning, reaches nearly 3,400 children and adults annually and provides support to families from 37 communities in the greater Los Angeles area and the West San Gabriel Valley. Almansor's professional and support staff work collaboratively to offer a full-range of services in five program areas: Special Education Day School (non-public school), Mental Health Services, Early Childhood Education, Transition and Adult Services, and Community Outreach to Head Start programs.
Almansor's mission is simple: to empower individuals to take charge of their own learning process and become competent, caring, and contributing members of society; to provide training opportunities for families and professionals to support those efforts.
Danny's Farm 
Danny’s Farm was founded by former Los Angeles Dodger Pitcher and current pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Jim Gott and his wife Cathy in 2007, in honor of their son Danny, who is diagnosed with Autism. As a child, Danny was drawn to farm animals and out of his continued affinity to them, Danny’s Farm was formed.
Danny’s Farm offers a safe and nurturing working farm and social environment for children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our mission is two fold – to provide meaningful employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities and to help them reach their fullest potential by developing special skills through their work and mentoring; and to serve children ages 5-17 years old on the Autistic Spectrum, by providing behavioral and social experiences through an individualized Specialty Autism Program.
