OUR VISION
We envision a future where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live fully integrated lives within their community. All people will have opportunities to share in all aspects of a full, productive, healthy, personally meaningful and satisfying life.

Our Mission
The Adult Skills Center (TASC) provides innovative and proactive services that empower individuals with diverse intellectual, developmental and mental health needs to achieve their highest level of independence and realize their greatest potential.
Our Values
Empowerment. We believe that nurturing self-confidence is paramount and that all people are able to learn and grow when given the necessary support and encouragement from those around them.
Equality. We believe that all people require respect and consideration to enable them to achieve their full potential.
Self-Direction. We believe that all people have the right to make choices and decisions about their lives that lead to more independent and productive futures.
Collaboration. We are stronger together through collaboration and teamwork with a family-like culture embracing differences, respecting one another as equals both within TASC’s internal environment and within the community we serve.
Good Stewardship. We believe in good stewardship both of the exceptional and person-centered services we strive to provide every day, and for leading our organization with integrity and business excellence.

Courage. We believe it takes courage; to be innovative in our programs, to overcome personal adversity and to be the leaders that contribute to the advancement of our community and those we serve. We are not afraid to confront adversity and to find opportunities for growth in all that we do, and do it together as the TASC family.
There is a shortage of service providers for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
One in five people, 20%, have a disability in the United States, approximately 53 million people. These people and their families depend on service providers, but agencies often close due to funding shortages. The North Los Angeles County Regional Center has people who need placement and wants TASC to build capacity to serve more.
For over 35 years, TASC has had the pleasure of serving the community and creating awareness for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
