Our Story

ADAMS Enrichment was founded by Frances Magana Curiel after she struggled to find a day program that met the needs of her adult son, Adam. Traditional programs adhere to strictly regimented schedules of activities. And while structure is hugely beneficial for many participants, for others that rigidity can be challenging, or even detrimental.

“Sometimes people have bad days. No one should be forced to remain out in the community for 6 hours if they aren’t feeling well, or if the weather becomes extreme.”

—Frances Magana Curiel

Frances wanted a program that would support Adam’s goals and interests while prioritizing his safety and dignity at every step. When she could not find one, she started her own. And the ADAMS Enrichment Program was born.

Our program was established to serve those for whom traditional day programs have not worked, and who require more flexible, personal care.
