TERI Campus of Life Our mission is to change the way the world sees, helps, and empowers individuals with special needs.

TERI provides training and educational opportunities designed to meet each individual’s unique needs. Since 1980, TERI (𝗧raining, 𝗘ducation, and 𝗥esource 𝗜nstitute) has been dedicated to improving the lives of children, adults, and seniors with developmental and learning disabilities. We believe everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. Grounded in a culture of wellness, our programs are designed to support each child, adult, senior, and family we serve, providing opportunities for personal growth and meaningful development. Our new TERI Campus of Life in San Marcos is a 20-acre community offering performing arts, fine arts, fitness, nutrition, social programs, and events. Visitors can enjoy coffee and food at Common Grounds Café, attend performances at The Bornemann Theatre, host special events through TERI Events or visit Inspired Resale in Oceanside. Together, these initiatives foster connection, growth, and meaningful opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and the broader community.

TERI Chief Program Officer, John McCarthy, Ed.D., recently traveled to Washington, D.C. for the ANCOR 2026 Policy Summit and Hill Day, representing TERI students, families, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), and our broader community.

John met with California Senators and congressional representatives from our district to advocate for policies that directly impact the people we serve and the workforce that supports them.

He urged lawmakers to support the HCBS Relief Act of 2025 and the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act, two pieces of legislation that are critical to protecting access to community-based services and strengthening wages for the DSP workforce.

Advocacy helps ensure the voices of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and the professionals who support them are heard in Washington.

You can make your voice heard, too. Visit www.ancor.org to learn more and take action.

What a night! Last week, we celebrated the premiere of Murder Under Oath, an original short film brought to life by the talented TERI Players, an ensemble of adults with special needs enrolled in TERI's Center for the Arts program. 🎬

The evening began with a pre-show reception featuring live music and a photo booth before heading into The Bornemann Theatre for the film screening.

Following the screening, guests had the opportunity to hear directly from several of the actors during a special Q&A, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their experience bringing the film to life.

We couldn't be prouder of the TERI Players and dedicated professionals who brought this production to life. What an incredible accomplishment and a special night celebrating the power of creativity, collaboration, and the arts! 💙
