EVERYONE IS WITHIN REACH
Our Services
The Arc Mid-South works everyday to empower families and individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to provide information and resources during the journey of raising a child with a disability to lead a full and meaningful life. We work to empower people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to be independent. Our services span across a lifetime and we are committed to being among the first trusted sources that people visit when needing information on programs, services, resources and support.
