2. Ala Costa Centers’ after-school program offers school aged children with developmental disabilities academic support, enrichment activities, and help developing the skills and self-esteem that this underserved population needs for success in life. Families rely on Ala Costa to provide services that enable children with developmental disabilities to learn so that when they are in classroom or on their own, they have the skills needed to absorb and process information. The program curriculum targets independent living skills, mobility skill training, fine art, expressive/receptive language skills, and social skills. After school program/Day Camp

3. Adult Transition Program Ala Costa's Adult Transition [ACAT] program serves students ages 18- 22 with developmental disabilities from the Berkeley Unified School District and North Region SELPA. ACAT is a person-centered, community based program which focuses on self-determination skills, vocational skills, and community integration.

4. Adult Community Training Program The Adult Community Training Program was created to serve Ala Costa graduates aged 22+ and other adults with developmental disabilities. Once students graduate from the Ala Costa after-school program at age 22 their venue for socialization and activity comes to a halt. Most of the time individuals remain at home for the duration of their day with no one to challenge them or socialize with. A.C.T. focuses on engaging participants in activities ranging from attending college, employment, volunteering, internships, and exercise programs at local gyms. Ala Costa takes the interests of the individuals in order to research opportunities in the community that fit both with their skill level and appeal. These activities create a sense of self-confidence, worth, and community involvement that is crucial to the spiritual and physical health of an adult with a developmental disability.
