There are approximately 12,000 persons with intellectual disabilities located in the North County San Diego area, and too many of those are socially isolated because over 85% do not work, lack transportation and other supports those without disabilities can readily access. To try to turn this around in North County, Beacons, Inc. offers low-ratio postsecondary instructional and social opportunities to help build bridges to our community. Instruction off and on-site will integrate universal design guidelines and other best practices, focus on the priorities of California's Employment First Policy, and help provide tools to facilitate self-directed planning and employment success.
Here at Beacons, we believe that everyone should be able to be lifelong learners to develop their skills and interests!
Structured postsecondary instruction can dramatically improve the employability of those with developmental disabilities. However, those with developmental disabilities often need smaller ratios and settings to learn and apply the vocational skills taught. Most educational institutions are not able to provide small ratio vocational instruction due to funding, staffing costs or space constraints.
Help us try a new approach to empower our fellow community members once they exit their school districts. Join us in our efforts to make this dream a reality!
