RES SUCCESS (Redefining Educational Services) provides differentiating day service programs, tailored by location, for adults with varying degrees of mental retardation, autism and other developmental disabilities. Nearly all of our clients also suffer from mental health and/ or extreme behavioral challenges, such as schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sadly, people like these often slip through the cracks in the healthcare system and are warehoused in state institutions. We have proven that there is a better way.
For more than a decade, RES SUCCESS has offered an enriched environment for this vulnerable population. Through intensive behavior modification therapy, individuals learn to replace disruptive behaviors with more appropriate life skills in order to get their needs met.
The RES SUCCESS treatment model aims to reduce the frequency, duration and intensity of maladaptive behaviors and empowers our students to lead safer and more independent and productive lives. Our approach emphasizes education and exposure to meaningful life-learning experiences, including art, music and dance. Students who are able to express themselves creatively through art exhibit fewer volatile social behaviors, and improve their self-esteem.
The majority of our approximately $3 million annual budget comes from the California State Department of Developmental Services. We also rely on private donations to maintain our quality program, in part through our annual fundraiser “Artistry for Autism.”
RES SUCCESS is a non-profit organization that was founded by Ian Bremner in 1994. We serve about 160 students each year.
