We provide the resources, programs, education, and environment to support the independence and inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We partner with them towards fostering social relationships, cultivating their individual talents, allowing them to reach their full potential and a life filled with dignity, compassion, and respect.
ARC was created in 1969 through the determination of Mary Schallert and Dixie Henrikson- two mothers who fought for their daughters with Down Syndrome to become active members of the community, grow up with their family and friends, and lead meaningful and quality lives. With the support of other concerned parents, volunteers, and community members, these visionary leaders paved the way for individuals with developmental disabilities to gain access to services that enrich their lives and help them reach their full potential.
ARC envisions a world where people with developmental disabilities live a full life as individuals who are included, accepted, and valued without stigma or limitations.
