Through support from the @honda via the The Honda Foundation, Rancho’s PK Lab is working directly with our adaptive sports athletes to better understand their experiences and find new ways to improve performance, mobility, and access in wheelchair sports! We have an exciting project in the works that documents this journey, but in the meantime we have developed a series that highlights the lived experiences behind the research and the athletes driving it forward.

To kick off this series, we sat down with players at the recent Spinal Cord Injury Games to learn more about their journeys on and off the court.

Meet Albie Gania, one of the standout athletes on the Rancho Juniors Team. Albie started playing basketball in San Diego, then found his way to Rancho when his original team did not have enough junior players. The move gave him the competitive environment and community he had been looking for, and he has been growing as both a player and a leader ever since.

During our interview, we asked Albie what lesson from basketball he carries into everyday life. His answer says everything about his mindset and how he chooses to show up in the world.

“Always put your best wheel forward.”

And then he added something even more powerful.

“How are you going to expect people to see the best in you, if that is not what you are giving them.”

Albie plays with intention, heart, and quiet leadership. His words reflect the attitude that drives him every time he gets on the court. 🏀

More athlete stories coming soon as this series continues!

In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month The Rancho Works Cafe is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Rancho Works Program by our newest graduate, Michael Herron!

Mike became paralyzed from a gunshot wound in December 2000 and lost touch with Rancho for many years. In 2020, after being struck by a vehicle, he reconnected with us. Thanks to our outpatient case management team, who consistently followed up and informed him about available services, Mike returned to participate in the Rancho Driving Program with Stephanie Hayes-Jackson and later received Work Rehabilitation services from Denise Ha.

At 49 years old, Mike began working at the Rancho Works Café and Gift Shop in February 2024 — the first job he had ever held! Since then, he has moved into his own apartment and is now living independently.

With the experience he gained at the café, Mike built the confidence to apply for jobs in the community for the very first time. He recently secured a full-time position as a Behavior Intervention Technician with a rehabilitation company that serves children with autism.

We are incredibly proud of Mike and all that he has accomplished. And now, with the addition of our Occupational Therapy Employment Specialists, Behin Behrozi-Tehrani and Wendy Diego, we look forward to sharing even more success stories of Rancho patients finding meaningful employment in the community.

🏅Highlighting the great moments from this year’s Spinal Cord Injury Games! All the athletes brought impressive skill, focus, and competitive energy to every match. Their performance reflected the strength and spirit of the adaptive sports community at Rancho.

Even though the event has wrapped, the momentum continues as we build on the growth of Rancho’s adaptive sports program.

Thanks to the Honda Grant, supported by the @Honda USA Foundation. The Foundation funds programs that remove barriers and expand opportunities for individuals with disabilities, “ensuring that the joy and freedom of mobility can be experienced by all.”

This funding will support a new project where Rancho’s PK Lab will work in coordination with the COACHWELL program to assess player mobility challenges and goals for improving game performance.

From those insights, the team will develop custom assistive devices designed to address real challenges faced by Rancho’s athletes and benefit adaptive sports players across the nation.

We’ll be measuring the impact of these devices and sharing the process and results as the project unfolds, starting with basketball. Stay tuned for updates on how innovation continues to drive performance and accessibility in adaptive sports. 🏀✨

It’s #OccupationalTherapyMonth, and this is our story in action: Rancho began in 1888 as a Los Angeles County Poor Farm, where people of different abilities were given a chance to live and work as contributing members of their community. The story continues through the Rancho Works Program. The program, under Occupational Therapy Work Rehabilitation, builds on that legacy of inclusivity and productivity. The program enables participants (patients) of all diagnoses, abilities and backgrounds to regain a sense of self-esteem and well-being through work-related activities. In the Rancho Works Café the participant’s recovery is promoted by engaging both the mind and body in actual job duties in a real work setting.

In this video, you’ll see a success story from our Rancho Works Program, Michelle Diaz, engaging both mind and body in real job duties at the Rancho Works Café. This is more than just work, this is recovery.

In honor of OT Month, we’re highlighting success stories from the Rancho Works Café Program. Today, we're spotlighting Jose (and this awesome smiley face :) latte!)

Jose is known for the radiant energy and enthusiasm he brings to every shift! Though fast food wasn't his first choice, he embraced the opportunity as a step toward his long-term goals. He’s learned how to manage customer service, cleaning, and cashiering, and now helps train new team members with confidence.

Jose’s story shows how work habits, skill-building, and community support can open doors.

✨ In honor of Occupational Therapy Month - We’re sharing success stories from the Rancho Works Café Program all month long, starting with Lorena.

After her stroke, Lorena joined our Work Rehabilitation program to explore her readiness to return to work. She relearned how to use her left hand, transitioned from a wheelchair to a cane, and built back her communication and confidence through supported employment.

She went from volunteer, to paid café team member, to a new job with Sodexo in Rancho’s main cafeteria. Her journey shows what’s possible with determination and the right support.

Help us create more stories like Lorena’s. Donate to the Rancho Works Program:

Hard to believe it’s already been almost two weeks since the 3rd Annual Sara Mulroy SCI Symposium, and the conversations are still resonating. 💭✨

We kicked off the day with a warm and heartfelt introduction from our CEO, Dr. Philip Requejo, as he welcomed our keynote speaker. The morning session featured a powerful lineup of thought-provoking presentations on aging with SCI that sparked meaningful dialogue and set the tone for a truly memorable day.

Here’s a look back at a few moments we’re still thinking about. 📸 We hope to see you at next year’s event!
