2012 Smiles of Life Calendars Now Available!

People with developmental disabilities are people first; their disabilities are secondary. They are equal citizens and community members with needs, wants and dreams like everyone else. With respectful support, education and advocacy that allows them choice and control over their own lives, these needs can be met and dreams achieved.

"Thanks to The Arc's leadership workshop, I now have the tools to better advocate for my son, and the connections to find more resources."

~Maureen M., Parent.
