Company Profile
Integrated Rehabilitation Therapies, Inc. was established in 2005 by a group of professionals each with more than 20 years experience in the fields of mental health, rehabilitation, advocacy, and disability management. The IRT team recognizes that people with disabilities are confronted with needs and challenges that are distinct from those faced by the broader community. Yet, they are most often referred to the same mental health and rehabilitation options as the general public. Large agencies that serve the general public cannot be expected to possess specific disabilities expertise, since these skills often require sub-specialization. Integrated Rehabilitation Therapies, Inc. provides an innovative alternative to meet these very specific needs.
Programs provided by IRT are licensed by the California Department of Social Services.
Values
Love, Learning, Purpose, and Hope
Love – Each person must be met with objectivity, support, and understanding of individual difference. Along with a positive environment, resolution of any sense of personal jeopardy must first take place before new information may be acquired. A system that includes positive encouragement and a loving, secure environment is essential for development and growth.
Learning – Change requires constructive teaching, openness to alternatives, and an offering of guidance along a supportive path through a mutually respectful process. Through an integrated approach, opportunities are provided to assist individuals in understanding that personal limits and alternatives may require adjustment. When these adjustments are made, new information can be acquired, and learning can occur.
Purpose – Individuals can strengthen their personal sense of self-worth through the agents of learning and change within a framework of their own identified limits and alternatives. Through finding their own value, individuals can apply essential skills that maintain their individual purpose and sustain their focus on what is most meaningful to them.
Hope – The acknowledgement that learning and change have occurred, along with identifying and establishing one’s sense of purpose, opens the possibilities for further growth, goal attainment, greater personal stability, dignity, and self-respect. This acknowledgement offers a sense of hope for the future.
