ARC, an organization serving
people with disabilities and
their families, will soon open
its new JARC Center for Autism and
Rehabilitation Services.
Located at JARC’s Lois and Paul
Katzman Administrative Building
in Farmington Hills, the center will
provide Applied Behavioral Analysis
(ABA), speech therapy, physical therapy
and occupational therapy services.
The 3,500-square-foot facility features
state-of-the-art equipment including
a Pediatric Sensory Integration Room
with a “Class Champs” gym set, a Pneu-
Walker Body Weight Support System,
and a Thera-Band Rehab and Wellness
Station, along with much more to aid in
delivering the best possible care.
“The JARC Center was created to help
meet a growing demand in our commu-
nity for state-of-the-art, life-changing
therapies and treatments,” said JARC
CEO Bob Blumenfeld.
“The center’s unique approach incor-
porates our Culture of Gentleness and
our JARC Heart philosophy in a com-
prehensive array of evidenced-based
practice that emphasizes safety, compas-
sion and engagement.”
The JARC Center will also provide
customized physical therapy services
and treatments for catastrophic injuries.
Speech therapists will help patients
relearn language and reading skills or
find alternate ways to communicate.
Expert speech and language patholo-
gists will help patients rebuild problem-
solving abilities.
The JARC Center will host its grand
opening on Sunday, Feb. 28, from 10:30
a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is open to the
public, and families are welcome to
attend and tour the new facility. RSVP

tion or to make reservations, call (248)
