***** ARS: Focus on Individual Adults with Disabilties
Asian Rehabilitation Services, Inc. (ARS) serves a culturally diverse population of clients with moderate to severe developmental disabilities. Our clients' ethnicities are Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Hispanic, and Caucasian, and we have staff, counselors and instructors who speak and translate those languages fluently. Through ARS workshops, clients are able to develop important life skills that contribute to personal growth, success, and goal achievement. Workshop services revolve around education, self-advocacy, individual development, and workplace training. ARS offers clients job skills training at their packaging and assembly facility, located near downtown Los Angeles, which also includes labeling, stuffing and shrink wrapping. While employment training is important, ARS believes that individual development is just as important for establishing good life management skills. They teach clients social skills, behavioral skills, workplace skills, safety skills, and survival skills. Through positive reinforcement, they encourage their clients to make good choices which lead to positive behaviors in a variety of situations.
