Mercury News Article Features Via West

Donations Lead to Via West Improvements
In a June 21 article, reporter Matt Wilson described how recent donations to Via West, including contributions from Deloitte and Touche, Martha Sanfillipo, JKL Construction, and Andreessen Horowitz and its six general partners, were being used to upgrade campus facilities and support programming. Those improvements include a new walk-in freezer, horse access ramp and roofs for two buildings.
The article also described how contributions have directly impacted the types of programming now being offered at Via West. Donated iPads enrich the content of programs by helping to teach communication and social skills. Additionally, each of the 5- day and 7- day sessions this summer will include a field trip.
Learning with an iPad at Via West
Via West, a part of Via Services Inc., offers year-round day and residential programs for adults and children with disabilities, ages 5 and older. The campus is located in the Cupertino foothills.

New Group Classes Offered at Via Services
| |
First Step Early Intervention Program Expands
First Step is pleased to announce the introduction of two new group classes: "Let's Move and Learn," a sensorimotor and sensory integration group for children ages 3 to 5 and "Pragmatic Awareness Language Skills," a social communication group- therapy service for children ages 4 to 6.
Each course will offer hour- long classes once a week for eight consecutive weeks beginning in January 2013.
These new classes join the First Step program, which currently provides speech and occupational therapy as well as Early Start Assessments for Santa Clara County to determine a child's developmental level and recommend placement for early intervention services, and the Kid Connections program, which screens at risk children ages 0-5 and assists families in getting services and referrals.
Speech Therapy at Via Services
For more information, including how to sign up for these classes, please visit our website, and remember to like us on Facebook.
We are also excited to welcome four new staff members to the First Step team - Carlos Gonzalez, Bi-Lingual Early Childhood Educator and Speech-Language Pathologists Kelsey Pithoud M.S., CCC-SLP, Emily Braun M.A. CCC-SLP, and Courtney Rood M.S. CFY-SLP
