A Little About Us
It's About You
Found It! was organically grown out of the desire and need to...Provide peer support and social activities for neurodiverse adults as well as other developmental/ intellectual disabilities; simply put, a place for those who felt they did not belong. We believe everyone has the right to friendships and support. Our goal is to help our members gain the tools needed so they no longer fall through the cracks.
We started in Solano County because there were not many options for adults who were moderately impacted by their intellectual/development disability or those that just felt like they did not belong. We wanted to make sure everyone had an opportunity to be a part of a peer group and/or have an active, independent social life. Most current programs were located outside of the county, cost too much, and/or were designed for those under 18. We needed a program of our own, in our own community and now we do. We've Found It, and we hope you do to!
After searching and seeming to come up short, we “Found It“ within ourselves to create something that we believe is truly special for all Determined Adults and we want to share it with you. So now, you have Found It! Too. ~Alexis and Family
What We Do
Provide Peer Support*
A facilitator will meet with the group to discuss:
- Life's challenges
- Building relationships
- Anxiety/Coping Skills
- Communication
- Basic Skills (microwave cooking)
- It's Really Up to You!
The goal is to be a peer led group. A facilitator is onsite to ensure a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere and to keep the group on topic. A short video maybe viewed, or an agreed topic can be discussed or even learn something new alongside your peers.
*Participants must be moderately self-sufficient and able to actively communicate.
Our Social Power Hour
We love to get together. Some of our activities include:
- Popcorn Night at the Hub
- Festivals/Conventions (Anime, Comics)
- Karaoke
- Sporting events/participation (basketball, kickball, hockey games, pro-wrestling)
- Movies
- Art projects
- Bowling
- You Name It!
What You Can Do
Help get the word out and Join Us!
We get it. You want someone to talk to, someone who understands and has walked in your shoes, someone to just call friend. Living with a disability can be tough and can impair the ability to make friends and we want to help.
While our primary focus are neurodivergent adults as well as other developmental and intellectual disabilities, we welcome ALL including those with social anxiety.
Our Peer Support and Social Power Hour meetings are held at our Found It! Hub, located at the Solano Town Center. We are inside, on the lower level between Victoria Secrets and Spencer Gifts.
1350 Travis Blvd., #1492-A, Fairfield, CA
We are a peer led group. We do not diagnose. We are not able to accept disruptive or extreme behaviors without the member's staff being present.
