Exceptional Family Center

Exceptional Family Center Exceptional Family Center is committed to helping families of children w/developmental disabilities

Exceptional Family Center was founded in 2007 by a group of parents and professionals, who recognized the need for a center that would be culturally sensitive to the unique needs of our diverse community. Our center was created to provide families, who have children with a developmental disability, with the tools and resources necessary to help their children succeed. What began as an annual conference soon turned into a center, that today, assists over 300 families.

This time on The Game Plan, Eric interviews Brittanie Hernandez-Wilson, a powerful advocate for people with disabilities to live independently and the Lead California Homecare Organizer at Hand in Hand. The two talk about the power of telling your story, which is the focus of her exciting new venture, Our Stories Our Care, a project funded through the 2026 AAPD Paul G. Hearne Emerging Leader Award. She and Eric reflect on disabled wisdom, her path to California, and Brittanie even offers some musical stylings. We’re sure you will be uplifted and enlivened by the great Brittanie Hernandez-Wilson.

As a grassroots production, we greatly value your support. Please subscribe, comment, rate, review, and share The Game Plan.
