RESOURCES

The Arc of Indiana was established in 1956 by parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who joined together to build a better and more accepting world for their children. The Arc is on the front lines to empower families with information and resources to assist them in their journey of raising a child with a disability to lead a full and meaningful life.
