Albany ARC

The Albany ARC believes that every individual and family affected by intellectual disability in the United States has access to the information, advocacy, and skills they need to participate as active citizens of our democracy and active members of their community. We work to ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families have the supports they need to live an ordinary, decent American life:

• People with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families are valued, respected and included in all communities.

• People with intellectual and developmental disabilities direct their own lives. People choose their services and supports from many available sources.

• People are empowered through nonprofit advocacy. State and federal governments administer programs and set budgets that meet everyone’s needs.

1. The Albany ARC is committed to promoting the general welfare of persons with diabilities, wherever they may be & to foster the development of programs

2. Together with our network of memebers, we improve systems of supports and services; connect families; inspire communities; & influence public policy.
