What is California BrainWaves?

California BrainWaves is a nonprofit organization based in San Leandro, California, dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. Founded with the mission to enhance the lives of people with brain and developmental disabilities, the organization offers a range of services, including family support, housing, employment, educational resources, and medical care. They emphasize community systems and de-stigmatization of neurodiversity as part of their commitment to empowering the neurodivergent community.

Their primary vision is to develop therapeutic campuses—described as “Live/Work/Learn/Play” environments—that provide holistic support for neurodivergent individuals and their loved ones. These campuses, planned for multiple locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, are intended to foster independence and prevent family separations by providing accessible resources for individuals of all ages. The organization’s initiatives also include fundraising, advisory boards, caregiver support, and dedicated committees for diversity and legal aid.

Looking ahead, California BrainWaves plans to expand its model across California, with a long-term goal of creating similar support structures nationwide. Their unique approach combines community-building with a focus on sustainable design, aiming to create environments that address both immediate needs and broader issues facing neurodivergent populations.
