THE ARC RAPIDES

The Arc Rapides is formerly known as John Eskew Training Center. John Eskew was a school for exceptional children with disabilities at a time when those individuals were not allowed to be admitted into "regular" school. Many of those students worked at Handi Works Productions and later transitioned into the RARC services... The Arc Rapides' mission is to provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with a place of work and enrichment. We are dedicated to creating, through education, advocacy, and support, a greater Central Louisiana community that includes, accepts, and celebrates people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
