About Us

My passion for supporting people with disabilities began on the grounds of the Stockton Developmental Center, where I spent eight years as a special education teacher and program specialist. At that time, services for our students were confined to a series of locked doors inside the center. I was able to work alongside a team of equally passionate teachers, and together, we developed creative opportunities to teach life skills within the natural environment.

We challenged the status quo by taking our students into the Stockton community to utilize life experiences as a teaching method. We were driven by a collective passion for seeing our students succeed. That passion led the way to the development of CVTC, and it remains the soul of our organization today. Our mission will always be to support people in achieving their potential.
