Sophie's Gallery and Gift Shop

Sophie's Gallery and Gift Shop Sophie's Gallery & Gift Shop is a studio where adults with developmental disabilities create and disp In the 1970s, St. to 4 p.m.

Madeleine Sophie's Center expanded its curriculum to offer its first art classes. With these first classes, an untapped wealth of talent was revealed. Many students who had not been able to express themselves through traditional means were sharing their once hidden feelings through vibrant, original works of art on canvas, wood, glass and other media. In 1999, with generous community support, the

art program moved to a storefront in Downtown El Cajon and was named Sophie’s Gallery and Gift Shop. Every week, SMSC students are taught a variety of media, such as print-making, jewelry-making, painting, charcoal, pastels, fabric arts, and more. All of the classes at Sophie’s Gallery are taught by professional artists. In 2007, we opened a satellite gallery and gift shop, called Sophie's Too, in our new Education Center on our main campus. To view the work of Sophie's Gallery artists, please visit the El Cajon gallery Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m.

GOOD NEWS! The Senate passed the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act. πŸŽ‰

What does this mean?

Direct support professionals play a critical role in the care provided to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing a wide range of supportive services on a day-to-day basis including:

πŸ”΅ enhancing independence and community inclusion
πŸ”΅ coaching and supporting individuals in communicating needs, achieving self-expression, pursuing personal goals
πŸ”΅ assisting with activities of independent daily living (such as feeding and bathing) and with tasks such as meal preparation, shopping, and laundry.

This bill, S.1332, will create a ""Standard Occupational Classification"" for DSPs, so federal agencies can better measure workforce data.

What's next? It's shared with the House of Representatives!
