Eternal Anchor was founded in 2014 to respond to the unmet opportunity of serving individuals and families impacted by disability in the communities of rural Baja California, Mexico.

Why We’re Here

We aim to heal social divisions.

We work hard to heal social divisions so that all members of our community can be valued, experience belonging, and reach their God-given potential.

At Eternal Anchor, we strive to create spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. Here are a few tips on disability etiquette to keep in mind as we work together toward this goal:

✦ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲: Mobility devices (wheelchairs, canes, etc.) are part of a person’s personal space. Always ask before touching or moving them.
✦ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻-𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲: Say "a person with a disability" rather than "a disabled person." This emphasizes the individual, not the disability.
✦ 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: Not everyone with a disability needs assistance. Always ask, “May I help you?” and respect the answer.
✦ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆: When engaging with a person with a disability, speak directly to them, not to a companion, caregiver, or interpreter.
✦ 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Every person with a disability is unique. Don’t assume you know what someone can or cannot do based on their disability.

At Eternal Anchor, we champion these practices every day as we empower children, teens, and adults with disabilities. Let’s all play a part in creating an inclusive, supportive world! #DisabilityEtiquette #InclusionMatters #BetterTogether

One-on-one support is not simply about giving more help. At its best, it is about paying close enough attention to understand how a student learns, what helps them stay regulated, when to pause, when to encourage, and how to build trust strong enough for real learning to take root.

That kind of attention matters because progress is not only measured by whether a child gets the right answer. It is also measured by whether the learning environment has been shaped in a way that makes participation possible. For many students with disabilities, that is where growth begins.

At Eternal Anchor, individualized support is not separate from belonging. It is one of the ways belonging becomes real. A student is not asked to fit into a rigid system and hope for the best. The work is to understand the student well enough to create space for learning, communication, confidence, and steady progress over time. #InclusiveEducation #disabilityinclusion #belonging

At Eternal Anchor, our Health and Therapy Services team knows that real progress often starts at home. That’s why our staff goes beyond clinic walls to meet children, teens, and adults in their homes across the San Quintin Valley.

From personalized equipment assessments to exercises and therapy, these visits help us understand each person’s daily environment and challenges, building trust and creating better outcomes. It’s about meeting people where they are. Need support for yourself or a loved one with a disability?
