The ALIVE Program is designed to increase the quality of life for its consumers by providing individualized opportunities, which enable them to more fully participate in their community and achieve more independence in their lives.  Participants receive a variety of services including individual assessment of needs and skills training.  They also obtain instruction and personal assistance that enables them to engage in activities of their own choosing to enrich and fulfill their lives. 

ALIVE primarily serves adults over age eighteen with physical impairments, developmental disabilities, or sensory impairments who are clients of the Regional Center of the East Bay.  Consumers may need personal assistance with eating, bathrooming, and other activities of daily living, but should not have a medical condition that severely limits their ability to attend program regularly, nor one which poses a danger during regular program activities.  Our widespread community involvement requires socially acceptable behavior.
