Description
The Arc Ontario is a private, not-for-profit organization serving more than 700 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families throughout Ontario County in New York. The agency strives to create an atmosphere which encourages independence, integration, and productivity for the people it serves. We take pride in celebrating the unique strengths and achievements of the people we support.
Here, we believe that nurturing uniqueness opens the door to endless, exciting possibilities. Whether that means landing a job and excelling in your career, finding new ways to creatively express yourself, or learning the skills needed to live on your own, we help people to realize the numerous ways they can fulfill their potential as valued, respected members of society. As a member of The Collaborative of NY, we focus on person-centered care and developing innovative solutions. Our primary goal is to promote opportunity and independence for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities or other challenges. We achieve this with over 40 services, but even more so through the complete respect and guidance we give families as they begin this life journey.
