Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month: Myth vs. Fact

Myth: There’s enough support for adults with IDD.
Fact: Las Trampas’ waitlist is nearly two years long. Families need more safe, supportive programs.

Myth: People with IDD are childlike.
Fact: Adults with IDD are not children. They are adults with legal rights, personal agency, and the ability to choose how they want to participate in their world.

Myth: Communication only happens through words.
Fact: Communication is eye contact, routine, expression, and presence. Some adults with IDD don’t speak, but they communicate constantly if you slow down and pay attention.

Myth: Families are simply caregivers.
Fact: Families aren’t “just caregivers.” They’re lifelong advocates working to ensure their loved one with IDD can continue living a full, self‑directed life long after they’re gone.

If you believe in dignity, autonomy, and full lives for adults with IDD, you’re already aligned with our mission. Visit www.lastrampas.org to see how you can help move it forward.

This St. Patrick’s Day, let’s leave one harmful idea behind:

“I’m lucky no one in my family has a disability.”

Even when it’s not meant to be cruel, that statement suggests disability makes a life less valuable or less worth celebrating.

At Las Trampas, we know that isn’t true.

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities live lives filled with growth, connection, purpose, and joy. The issue is not disability — it’s whether people are welcomed, supported, respected, and included.

This St. Patrick’s Day, let’s move beyond “luck” and choose something better:

💚 Dignity
💚 Inclusion
💚 Belonging
💚 Opportunity

Every life has value. Every person deserves the chance to lead a full life.

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.
