🌟 Meet Ericka, SDCB’s Orientation and Mobility Specialist! 🌟

Ericka joined the SDCB team in August, bringing a passion for helping individuals who are blind or visually impaired navigate the world with confidence and independence.

An Oceanside native, Ericka has a background in elementary and special education and earned her Master’s degree in Orientation and Mobility from Cal State LA.

For Ericka, this work is especially meaningful because it allows her to give back to the community that helped shape who she is today. She is dedicated to empowering our students with the skills and confidence to travel safely and independently.

We are grateful to have Ericka as part of the SDCB family and excited about the difference she is making in our students’ lives! 💙

Yesterday was all about making waves! 🌊✨ Our students from the San Diego Center for the Blind had an incredible day filled with surfing, smiles, and unforgettable moments. They embraced the joy, excitement, and freedom of surfing, making the experience truly special. 🏄💙

Their courage, enthusiasm, and adventurous spirit made the day even more meaningful. This event was a beautiful reminder that the ocean is for everyone and that no barrier should stand in the way of trying something new. From catching waves to creating lasting memories, the day was filled with empowerment, inclusion, and so much joy. Here’s to breaking barriers and making the water a place where everyone feels welcome! Thank you to the UrbnSurf team for making this happen! 🌊☀️🤍
