A Special Place --- A Unique Community

Fairview Developmental Center is a California State run residential facility for the developmentally disabled. The Developmental Disabilities Services Act of California provides an array of services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. The service system established by this law guarantees the right to medical care and treatment and habilitation services for the disabled. Fairview Developmental Center provides 24-hour residental care for people with developmental disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, Down syndrome, and other lifelong conditions. Services include training in daily living, vocational, leisure, academic, communication, mobility, socialization, and community skills. Services are provided both on campus and in community settings.

Our non-profit organization, Fairview Families and Friends, is a support and advocacy group for the residents of the Developmental Center. The stated mission of Fairview Families and Friends, Inc. is to: "Help enrich Fairview Developmental Center's residents lives materially, emotionally, and spiritually by extending to the residents additional benefits that may be beyond Fairview's budget."
