Fostering independence, defending dignity, and realizing each person's full potential. Our success stems from how we work together with the people we serve — as individuals deserving of respect, personal choice, and the chance to develop interests, skills, and independence.We are known for creating a life affirming environment in which personal accomplishments are celebrated, individual skills are recognized and participants are able to live creative, productive and joyous lives.Cedars is one of California's original programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.At a time when the only option for many families was to place their loved one in a state-run institution, Cedars was one of the first residential schools in the western United States to offer individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to build a life in a community-based home.Founded in 1919 by two fearless women, Cora Myers and Gabrielle Renshaw, Cedars changed the landscape forever for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, redefining their quality of life and creating an entirely new model of support.Over the past century, the organization has continued to grow and thrive.
