Chartered in 1952 by a group of forward-looking
families, The Arc of Davidson County is a chapter of The Arc of The United States,
the largest national membership disability organization. The mission of the Arc is to
increase the desire and capacity of our community to include people with intellectual
and developmental disabilities and support them in having self-determined, meaningful
and purposeful lives. Since our inception, we have worked to fulfill this mission in
all aspects of
community life, including school, work, recreation and neighborhoods.
Our primary constituents are the more than five thousand people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities and
their families in Davidson and nearby counties. Over seven hundred children and adults with intellectual and developmental
disabilities are enrolled in our service
and support programs. In partnership with our national, state and other local chapters,
we campaign for public policies that benefit all of our constituents as well as other people
with disabilities.
