Your membership enables The Arc to:

- Promote the self-sufficiency, independence and inclusion of children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) in education employment, and community living.
- Support self-advocacy through education and technical assistance.
- Assist those living in congregate settings who want to live more independently in community residential settings.
- Encourage progressive legislation, both in policy and the state budget.
- Provide options for individuals with I/DD to evaluate how to best use and save their money that doesn’t affect their benefits.
