Overview
The Arc protects and promotes the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families through top programs carried out in communities nationwide. Our initiatives touch almost every aspect of life in the community. By sharing our knowledge and conducting trainings and events, our programs give people with disabilities and families more resources and support while broadening inclusion across the country.
