Founded in 1951, Arc of San Diego in Chula Vista operates the Sol and Ruth Gerber Family Center at 1280 Nolan Avenue, a private nonprofit delivering developmental-disability day programs, early-intervention therapy, and independent-living-skills instruction. The center's four structured day programs serve 171 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, integrating therapeutic milestones with the behavioral-health programming that Stars Therapy Services provides for participants requiring concurrent speech, occupational, or behavioral support. Early-intervention services target children from birth through age three who present documented developmental delays, with eligibility and funding routed through the San Diego Regional Center. The Gerber Center's adult-development curriculum builds vocational competencies alongside functional-independence skills, preparing participants for supported-employment placements — a holistic independence model reinforced by the nutrition and wellness coaching at Kyra Kare Health & Wellness for adults managing co-occurring health conditions. Program participants progress through individualized service plans that track functional benchmarks across eight domains including self-care, communication, mobility, and community integration, with outcomes reported annually to the California Department of Developmental Services.
