  • Day Services

    Providing engaging opportunities to learn and make meaningful contributions

    Our programs are responsive to new and changing interests of people we support and families. We focus on skill development, quality instruction, and training through a variety of classes.

     

    We regularly distribute a day services catalog describing the menu of our available supports through focus areas of music, dance, visual arts, wellness, and technology. We also connect with many local non-profit organizations to coordinate volunteer opportunities.

  • Service Coordination

     

    Service Coordinators work for you to help make choices and find supports.

    The Arc understands that it can be difficult navigating a complex system of supports and services for people with developmental disabilities. A service coordinator can help you and your family understand all of the available supports and guide you through the decision making process.
