OUR PROGRAMS CCO’s unique Teaching Model is at the heart of all we do.   By embracing learning and skill-building opportunities in naturally occurring settings at home and throughout their own communities, individuals are always challenged and supported to reach for more. Far more than a “care” program, CCO ensures that individuals who are differently abled or significantly disabled have ongoing opportunities to learn; to grow; to interact with friends, family, and community; and to build a life that reaches their fullest potential. At the core of CCO’s infrastructure, our Ten Teaching Outcomes ensure ongoing teaching, training, and measurement of individual rights, relationships, high participation in daily and community experiences, exceptional living environments and healthy and personalized lifestyles.  408-622-8514 22 Great Oaks Boulevard, Suite 100 San Jose, CA 95119 CONTACT US [email protected] CONNECT WITH US CCO Facebook CommU Instagram JOIN US Join the CCO Community Subscribe and receive emails SUBSCRIBE NOW HIRING Join an exciting team and be part of making a positive difference in the life of adults with disabilities.
