Performing Arts Studio West

I was going to attend this class but unfortunately they do not take clients that have behavioral problems. I just found out that my service coordinator had talked to one of the people there and they said that they looked over my chart and they said that they do not accept clients I have behavioral problems And I am assuming that is the only performance class that is funded to the regional center here in California so I am not happy about this due to because my dream is to want to be on TV. My dream is to find the organization that works with people with intellectual disabilities . So, just be aware if you do want to come here, they do not take clients that have behavioral problems 😢😢😢😢😢😢

One of the greatest and most accepting places for adults with disabilities in the state. The staff will fight for you and your family member. If you or your loved one wants a shot at any type of show business and make friends that will stand the test of time then this wonderful day program is what you have been looking for. I suggest it 100%!

I enjoy going on Fridays

Out of this world! I love it there! I'm going to the airport or stay in the hotel when I'm there!

One of the places I enjoy going to alot.

If I could give 10 stars I would. I have worked at a Non-Public School for over 22 years and today was one of the most gratifying and happiest days for me. I visited Performing Arts Studio West (PASW) today and could not have been more impressed. We took three students with us and they also were in awe of the program and left full of excitement and OPTIMISM - they found their future and their future "home." There is so much positivity and that starts with the "two J's" John, the Founder/Director and Joe, the Music Director & Producer. They talk to all the students (or maybe members is the correct term) with such affinity, respect, and joy. Speaking of joy, that is contagious here along with such incredible positivity. PASW changes lives - the expression on the students' faces told it all. This is a hidden gem. Call, visit and expect the unexpected. See untapped potential come to life! Lloyd B.
