Founded more than 70 years ago, Momentum has become the largest nonprofit provider of direct-care services in Southern California for individuals with cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities.  Serving over 1100 children and adults daily, our mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of children and adults with developmental disabilities and those with similar service needs. 

Momentum offers over 40 programs and services across four counties, ranging from residential and day programs to advocacy and family support services. These include adult day activity and learning centers; affordable, accessible apartments, accompanied by supported living counselors; group homes with full activities and nursing staff; children’s programs; advocacy; and Respitality, giving parents a much needed break. 

In 2001, Momentum added Momentum Work, Inc. to our growing organization, expanding our services into Santa Barbara County. With the addition of Momentum Wheels for Humanity in 2007, Momentum's impact has been elevated to a global level.
