About
Program innovation: The Arc is constantly striving to improve the quality of life for people with I/DD and their families, including by promoting the development of best practices in programs, services and supports for people with IDD. The Arc's special projects advance the field of programs, services and supports for people with I/DD and their families as follows: The Arc's Down Syndrome New Mexico fund provided for the education, care and support of people with Down Syndrome in that state. The Arc@Work program supported people with I/DD who are unemployed to find and retain jobs with private, government and nonprofit sector employers and educated and supported employers to increase hiring of people with disabilities. The Health and Fitness for All program trained chapters of The Arc to deliver a health and fitness curriculum to people with I/DD and their support providers. The National Center on Criminal Justice and Disability worked to educate law enforcement, court and corrections personnel to accommodate the needs of people with I/DD in the criminal justice system. The Wings for Autism/Wings for All project provided an airport travel simulation for children with an autism spectrum disorder or other disabilities and their families. The Center for Future Planning provided an online resource center to assist adults with I/DD and their families to plan for their future needs, and to provide resources for chapters of The Arc to support them. The Arc's Tech programs provide online resources to assist people with I/DD and their families to access the latest technology to support their living in the community. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service project engaged people with I/DD in volunteerism and community service at 10 sites across the nation. The Arc@School program provides resources and information to families to support students with I/DD to obtain the services they need to be successful in school.
