Its got a staff of more than 650 people, and theyre well established in northern california, having been there for more than 40 years. Their clients ranged from infants to senior citizens. We dont have confirmation on the identities of any of the victims in this horrific shooting. But there is a possibility that some of the clients were onsite at the time of that shooting because the facility offers service like clinical diagnosis for a child with autism or Early Intervention programs for infantasy and Young Children there are also support groups for clients and parents and inland regional also, as these organizations so often do host their website chock full of pictures, parties and festivals. They held a walk to support Breast Cancer research and their winter dance was scheduled for friday, complete with an ugly sweater contest. In addition to receiving services, members of the board of disability tell nbc news that some of the clients are also employed by the complex as well.
