Imagine living in a world where you had no voice. You were unable to tell others your thoughts, needs, desire, unable to communicate with those closest to you.

Now imagine that you are the parent of a child with Autism and ADHD, or any other disability.

Maria has multiple disabilities and requires 24-hour care. But since she’s been at Angel View, she’s continued to grow in her abilities and interpersonal skills. A whole team of professionals helps her advance toward personal goals written just for her. Everything she learns helps her reach her maximum level of independence. 

Besides learning life skills, she gets to go on dozens of outings. Thanks to our caring staff and specially equipped buses, she’s an active participant in our community. 

A frantic mother of two lost her vital records in a fire. Her son Jaime, 6, has a severe form of spina bifida, a type of birth defect. He needed prescriptions refilled, but without her Medi-Cal card and information, the pharmacy couldn’t fill them.

For a child with a disability, mobility equals freedom. So when Carrina’s wheelchair was stolen, her family was understandably distraught. Without her chair, the 11-year old was unable to move about on her own.

Three days before his 18th birthday Francisco was in a car accident. The driver was unhurt, but Francisco, who attended Palm Springs High School, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Since then, he’s lived with his parents, who along with his siblings, provide his care.

After enrolling in the Angel View Day Program for adults with developmental disabilities, he lives his life to his maximum potential. He no longer wants to sit at home and one of his accomplishments is his improved punctuality.

Like many kids with a disability, Marlina was the victim of childhood neglect. Diagnosed with Down syndrome and asthma, she was raised in squalor in a single parent home.

When she moved to Angel View, she was dangerously overweight. She rarely spoke and avoided human contact. She was covered in insect bites and wheezed constantly. To protect her health, her few belongings had to be burned.
