We serve as a regional hub for support through three Centers of Excellence, reaching 5,000+ people each year. Founded in 1967, The Arc of Loudoun advocates for, educates, serves, and supports people with disabilities and their families, serving more than 7,000 people each year including people with disabilities, their families, caregivers, educators, advocates; Arc volunteers; Veterans; members of

the law enforcement, first responder and judicial system communities. At The Arc of Loudoun, we believe in creating a just and equitable world for people with disabilities—and we work toward that goal every day through our three core centers:

Ability Fitness Center – Promoting strength and mobility through fitness-based therapy
ALLY Advocacy Center – Empowering individuals and families through advocacy and support
The Aurora School – Providing specialized education for students with developmental disabilities

With more than 24,000 people with disabilities in Loudoun County, our work is far from done. But with your support, we can continue building a more inclusive community—one where everyone belongs.

🎉 Happy Disability Independence Day! Many thanks to Loudoun County for recognizing 36 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act this week.

On July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law — a landmark moment that affirmed the rights, dignity, and independence of millions of Americans with disabilities.

Today, we celebrate:
✊ The disability rights activists and advocates who fought tirelessly for this change
🌍 The progress made in accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunity
💪 The work that still lies ahead to build a truly accessible world for everyone

The Arc of Loudoun strives to bring about a just, equitable world for people with disabilities. Let's keep pushing for a world where accessibility isn't an afterthought, but the standard.
