Blue Heron Programs

Blue Heron Programs We are an employment training program dedicated to helping adults with developmental disabilities obtain employment.

Our founders Wyatt and Braydon are passionate about the people they serve and passionate about employment! They believe whole heartedly that it is one of the greatest paths to a life of purpose, self determination, and connection for those with developmental disabilities. Combined they have almost 10 years of experience managing programs for adults with developmental disabilities. They have spent the last 3 years together managing together in Solano County, developing an employment training program with NBRC that has had incredible success (80% of participants employed). They are looking to transfer that same success over to ACRC.

🌿 Wednesday Club Day Adventures!
Today our club headed outdoors for a nature walk & scavenger hunt! 📸 We explored, worked together, and captured the beauty around us—finding everything from textures in bark and reflections in water to birds, peaceful moments, and patterns in nature.
It was a great way to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy time together. ☀️

A windy Friday calls for kite making! 🪁 Our Blue Heron participants got creative with DIY kites and took them to the park to see them fly. Nothing better than arts, crafts, and fresh air!

📚✨ This year, several of our Blue Heron managers and leads had the opportunity to attend the CalABA Conference in Sacramento!

The 2026 conference theme, “Elevate + Evolve,” brought together professionals from across the field for workshops and sessions focused on innovation, collaboration, and advancing high-quality ABA services. Attendees explored topics like improving clinical outcomes, strengthening ethical and evidence-based practice, and integrating new tools and strategies into behavioral services.

We’re so proud of our team for continuing to invest in professional development and bringing new knowledge, ideas, and inspiration back to the communities and families we serve. 💙

🥳 PIP Shoutout of the Week! 🥳
This week we’re proud to highlight Jeremiah and Courtney, who have been crushing it at their jobs at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store off Watt Avenue! 🙌
Here are a few pics of them in action at work!
🩵 Jeremiah prices items and puts together sets — including socks, utensils, hats, ties, belts, and power cords.

Their hard work behind the scenes helps keep the store organized, stocked, and ready for customers every day. We are so proud of their dedication and teamwork — amazing work, everyone!

Shoutout to Program Mangers that keeps us grounded in purpose. Experiential learning isn’t just an outing — it’s intentional skill building in real environments.
At Blue Heron Programs, we practice independence where it actually matters: in the community.

Real environments. Real opportunities. Real growth.

PIP Shoutout of the Week! 🥳
This week we’re proud to highlight Joshua and Matt, who have been thriving at their jobs at CharQterie in Natomas!
For the past few months, these two have shown dedication, teamwork, and a strong work ethic — and it shows. They continue to excel in their roles all while having a smile on their face every day.
We’re especially excited to share that Joshua and Matt were even mentioned in the Natomas newspaper, N Magazine, for their first day on the job (see attached!)
Please join us in celebrating their hard work and success. We are so proud of them — keep shining!
