I greatly enjoyed meeting many of the members of the DSN yesterday.  A very active and effective group in supporting people with developmental disabilities.   Their recent meeting was held in Ontario and for those of you not familiar with the Inland Empire that is the Ontario in California and not in Canada.  (although you can find Therap in Canada, but that is another blog)  There are a lot of critical issues facing providers in California right now and DSN is right at the forward edge of addressing these.

I was also able to look around the area and was reminded that alothough Califronia isbest known for its big cities there really is a lot of undiscovered and rural beauty in this massive State.  Less than  30 minutes from Ontario I stumbled across this scene up in the surrounding mountains:

That’s right a ski slope just minutes from LA.  Not sure the last time this was used for skiing but the surrounding area was beautiful.  Always lots of surprises in California.

It has been a very fun time here in California on my July tour, and I have enjoyed spending time in another Regional Center and meeting more of the wonderful people that choose to work supporting people with developmental disabilities and their families.  No one in California can really complain too much about their geography, and the folks in Tri Counties are no exception.  This is some very beautiful coastline.   Of course all the folks I have met with are too busy working hard to enjoy it all the time.  They are committed to raising quality or care and realize that Therap is a big part of their short and long term plans to keep their agency moving forward in the right direction.   If we didn’t get a chance to get together, give me a call because I will definitely be back soon.

If ever there is a perfect place for Therap it has to be Orange County. (Get it Therap orange?) 

I have spent the  last few days meeting with providers all over the Regional Center of Orange County area, and enjoying the beautiful weather.  It was a little hot when I first got here, but the weather cooled down nicely and has been just right.  If I didn’t get a chance to meet with you give me a call, I’m definitely coming back here soon.   I even got to see the Disneyland Fireworks from my hotel, and I heard the Colored Light show at California Land is a must see.

It was nice to see all the innovative and hard working providers helping people with disabilities to have great lives.  Just because  its always beach weather doesn’t mean we are at the beach,  folks here are working hard.  With Therap of course providers work a little smarter not harder, from Residential, to ILS, to SLS, Therap has resources for everyone, and I am having fun spreading the news.
