Finding Art in the Everyday Inspired by his mother’s love of painting, Edgar “Eddy” Lobel first picked up his camera as a way to explore his own creativity through photography. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a passion for both learning and making art, a path he took while attending special-education high schoo...

We were proud to welcome Laura Nakamura, current Mayor of Concord, to the Adaptive Learning Center for a special visit recognizing our impact during Autism Awareness Month.

Being acknowledged in this way means a great deal to our community, and we’re grateful to share this moment together.

Founded in 1988, Adaptive Learning Center is dedicated to supporting adults with I/DD. Through programs like Community Connections, Vocational Support, and Independent Community Living Services, ALC helps individuals build independence, confidence, and meaningful connections in their communities.

This recognition reflects the commitment of our members, staff, and families who bring ALC’s mission to life every day.

Thank you, Mayor Nakamura, for your time, support, and for celebrating with us, we truly appreciate it.

✨ We’re excited to launch something new at ALC! ✨

Our very first Maker Space Program: One of our first pop-up groups, Resin Art is officially underway and it’s already full of creativity, color, and design. 🎨

Members explored the process of working with resin, from mixing and pouring to designing their own unique pieces using beads, glitter, flowers, and more. Every creation was a reflection of personal style and imagination, making each piece truly one of a kind.

Beyond the art itself, this experience was about trying something new, building confidence, and creating in a supportive, hands-on environment. Watching everyone collaborate, experiment, and take pride in their work was incredible.

This is just the beginning for ALC Maker Space, we can’t wait to see what we create next! 💫
