The Arc of the Capital Area

The Arc of the Capital Area Empowering Central Texans with intellectual & developmental disabilities since 1949 through case management and innovative programs.

When The Arc of the Capital Area was founded in 1949, parents of a child with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (I/DD) were often told their only option was to place their child in an institution. The Arc of the Capital Area was founded by parents of children with I/DD who knew that their children deserved the opportunity to remain in the community, attend public school, and access t

he resources and opportunities that were available to other children. Since then, our organization has worked toward a future in which people with I/DD have the same opportunities as others to pursue full and productive lives.The Arc of the Capital Area, a nonprofit organization, is committed to empowering Central Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through compassionate case management and innovative programs. The Arc of the Capital Area was formed in 1949 by a group of concerned parents trying to advocate for their children with disabilities. We are one of 31 local chapters of The Arc in Texas. The Arc is a national organization that promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

At our cluster meeting for today, we had the opportunity to learn about the work of in providing adults with IDD the services they need to thrive. From art classes to life skills, and job training as well, they are doing so much through their multiple campuses in Central Texas (17 counties!). Many of ARC’s clients work at great local companies like HEB and Dell! Looking forward to collaborating soon!
