Individual and Family Supports

This department is the point of entry for many individuals, where an Arc employee helps individuals and families determine appropriate supports and services.  This department provides:

• Information on issues such as Social Security, Division on Developmental Disabilities services and Individual Education Planning Process.
• Individual advocacy
• Social work services
• Transition planning for students graduating from high school.
• An Independent Living Program, which provides services for people with developmental disabilities who are living in the community independently, but who may need additional support services to sustain themselves in their current housing situation.
