Core Values of The Arc

People First

The Arc believes that families of children with disabilities and all people with intellectual, developmental disabilities or delays, and other disabilities are defined by their own strengths, abilities, inherent value and not by their disability.


The Arc

believes that people with disabilities and their families are entitled to the respect, dignity, equality, safety, and security accorded to other members of society, and are equal before the law.


The Arc

believes that people with disabilities belong in the community and have fundamental moral, civil and constitutional rights to be fully included and actively participate in all aspects of society including educational, economic, and social opportunities.


The Arc believes in self-determination and self-advocacy. People with disabilities can make decisions about their own lives, with appropriate resources and supports. They and their families must be heard on issues that affect their well-being.
