Welcome

The Arc of Washington State's mission is to promote the education, health, self-sufficiency, self-advocacy, inclusion and choices of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Since 1936 The Arc of Washington State has been a leader in the development of services and programs for people with developmental disabilities, such as autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy and related neurological disorders which occur before age 18.

The Arc of Washington State, a non-profit organization, is affiliated with The Arc of the United States and ten local Arc chapters throughout the state.

Projects of The Arc of Washington State

The State Parent to Parent (P2P) Program provides a variety of resources for families of children with special needs.

State advocacy grants funded by the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council provide information, education and technical assistance to parent and self advocacy groups interested in shaping public policies that affect their lives.

The Life Opportunities Trust, formerly called the DD Endowment, is a public-private partnership that makes it possible for families to enhance the quality of life for their loved ones with a developmental disability, and for individuals with developmental disabilities to participate in their own financial future.
