Community Integrated Behavior Management Training Program
Arc Mid-Cities Community Integrated Behavior Management Training Program is designed to benefit highly functioning citizens with developmental disabilities.
All clients are referred to our community-based program by various Southern California Regional Centers. Individuals must be at least 18 years of age and have a developmental disability. Arc Mid-Cities is a non-profit affiliate of the National Arc; through this program we focus on preparing clients for entry into competitive employment and independent living.
With the proper training these participants may later advance to a less structured community environment such as Supported Employment and/or individual placement.
Participants are encouraged at a number of levels to acquire the necessary skill training aimed at reinforcing proper work behavior and attitudes, good attendance, as well as improved speed, accuracy, and performance. It offers individuals especially those who have been or are at risk of being judicially involved, a solid chance to succeed in the mainstream workforce.
