About us
The Arc Eastern Connecticut was founded in 1952 by families in northeastern and southeastern Connecticut who sought opportunities for their children who at the time were not welcome in the public school system. Today The Arc serves over 800 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. We offer day and residential supports, employment opportunities, in-home/family supports, life skills training, recreation, and person-centered, community based services. In partnership with national, state, and local chapters, we are a powerful advocacy force for full inclusion of people with IDD throughout Eastern Connecticut.

This past weekend, 16 Community Life & Advocacy (CL&A) members attended a fundraising breakfast at the Ledyard Congregational Church, to help support Citizens Helping Animals in Need. The event was packed; the group got to socialize with new friends and contribute to an important cause. A great way to start the weekend! #communityengagement #animalwelfare #intellectualdisabilities #careerexploration

Celebrate #TransitEquityDay on Sunday February 4th! Transit Equity Day is a national day of action to commemorate the birthday of Rosa Parks by declaring that public transit is a civil right. In 1955, Ms. Parks, an iconic civil rights leader, refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in protest and to demand an end to segregation on transit systems. Governor Lamont’s Biennial Budget included $17.5 million to expand bus routes across Connecticut and install ADA-compliant bus stops and shelters. Urge your legislators to make sure this happens! #rosaparks #equalitymatters #disabilityrights #connecticut
