EVERYONE IS WITHIN REACH
Our Programs & Services
The Arc Mid-South works every day 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.

We assist parents with understanding laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). A community advocate is available to consult with families about special education disputes and attend Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings when necessary.
The Arc Mid-South provides career development and job placement services to adults with disabilities. The Arc Mid-South’s Career Development and Job Placement Program works to ensure that people with disabilities have access to real employment with real wages, as well as the needed supports to obtain and maintain employment in the community.
