We are a nonprofit community-based organization—our mission is to enhance and enrich the lives of children with special needs and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and similar conditions. Toward that end, we provide direct services and advocacy to assist those we serve in achieving their highest level of personal independence and self-sufficiency. We are family based—Contra Costa ARC was founded by parents and family members of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their vision guides everything we do. Family members serve on our Board of Directors, and individuals receiving services elect representatives to a Board Advisory Committee. Much of our support comes from families and friends of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are experienced doing what we do, and we do it well—Contra Costa ARC was incorporated in 1965, and since then we’ve become a leader in the field, supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are known for providing high quality, cost-effective services. We serve over 1,000 children and adults in Contra Costa County every day.
