About Our Company

 

Inclusive Reach, formerly known as KDS, is a community‑based agency serving Los Angeles County with a specialized focus on forensic‑informed Adaptive Skills Training for judicially‑involved adults with developmental disabilities. Our work is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to build independence, stability, and meaningful participation in their community, regardless of past legal involvement or the complexity of their support needs.


We provide structured 1 : 1 training that strengthens daily living abilities, emotional regulation, decision‑making, and community safety awareness. Our approach integrates forensic‑informed practices that recognize the unique risks, histories, and behavioral patterns associated with justice involvement, ensuring that each consumer receives support that is clinically sound, legally relevant, and aligned with court expectations, probation requirements, and community safety standards.


Our team delivers services in natural environments to help consumers learn, apply, and maintain skills that promote lawful behavior, reduce vulnerability, and increase autonomy. We emphasize dignity, informed choice, and trauma‑aware engagement, ensuring that every interaction reinforces stability, accountability, and personal growth. Through consistent coaching, modeling, and guided practice, we help individuals build the adaptive skills needed to navigate daily life safely and successfully.


As Inclusive Reach, we continue the legacy of KDS while expanding our mission to meet the needs of individuals whose developmental disabilities intersect with the judicial system. Our commitment is to provide high‑quality, culturally responsive, and evidence‑aligned services that support each consumer’s long‑term independence and meaningful community participation.

Training focuses on strengthening the daily living, emotional, and decision‑making skills required for safe, stable community participation. Each session integrates forensic‑informed strategies that consider legal history, risk factors, and behavioral patterns.

Key areas include:

  • Daily Living Skills — routines, hygiene, home care, organization, and follow‑through.
  • Community Safety Awareness — boundaries, safe environments, red‑flag recognition, and lawful behavior.
  • Decision‑Making & Judgment — understanding consequences, evaluating choices, and practicing safer alternatives.
  • Emotional Regulation — impulse control, coping strategies, and conflict de‑escalation.

This includes:

  • Stabilizing routines and supportive modeling.
