Serving citizens who are developmentally disabled and their families.

The Arc is a national voluntary organization devoted solely to promoting the welfare of persons with developmental disabilities and their families.

The Arc advocates for persons with developmental disabilities including mental retardation, epilepsy, autism and cerebral palsy.

The dual goals of The Arc movement are to ensure that persons with developmental disabilities share fully in all human rights and services, and, for the sake of future generations, to diligently pursue every feasable avenue for prevention.
