I have been affiliated with Common Ground for several years in several capacities. Initially, it was with clients of mine who were adults with disabilities when I worked for an organization that serves adults with disabilities. I then had a man with down syndrome who lived with me for 13 years attend several of their activities. I also have had my son attend. My son is on the Autism Spectrum and went rafting with them last summer. Common Ground also came and did some fun activities with the students at my school where I am a Special Needs Preschool teacher. Over the years I have been dog sledding, camping, went to Disneyland, rafting, canoeing etc. as a volunteer or staff member. We had a spectacular time every time. It was always well organized, excellent food, and great fun. We have loved our association with them over the years.
