The mission of Canyon Springs Community Facility (CSCF) is to provide an individualized, person-centered approach in developing programs to maximize the potential of the individual and lead them to their preferred future. Individuals come to CSCF from regional center referrals, with a WIC 6500 commitment, as they are transitioning from Porterville Developmental Center (PDC). The CSCF team supports the individual by working with them to develop an Individual Program Plan (IPP) based on what is “important to” and “important for” the individual.

While at Canyon Springs, individuals work on skills like coping skills, self-awareness, exercising rights and self-advocacy, safe and healthy choices, independence, and socialization. Individuals have opportunities to participate in a variety of integrated activities in natural environments like at home, work, and in the community. CSCF also provides individuals with career and technical education training.
