Welcome

to the web site for The Arc of Whatcom County, a resource for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Mission Statement
To improve the quality of life, increase the independence, and assure the full inclusion in the community of all persons with developmental disabilities.

Vision Statement
The Arc of Whatcom, Skagit and Island Counties will be an effective resource, a strong advocate, and a dedicated base of support for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

Information and Referrals
are available from The Arc to help meet the unique and individual needs of people with developmental disabilities and their families. Every effort is made to provide the most useful assistance possible, reliably and confidentially.

Educational Programs
and workshops are sponsored during the year, to respond to the needs of parents, guardians and those who provide care for people with developmental disabilities. Public education programs help to inform the public about ways to prevent mental retardation, and to help people understand the challenges and realities of developmental disabilities.
