The Arc of Moore County

The Arc of Moore County was established in 1960 by parents who needed and desired services and supports for their children with developmental disabilities. From the work of many Arc members came the first exceptional education program in the public schools, the first developmental day preschool, the first adult vocational program and an organization of people committed to improving the lives of people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Today, The Arc provides a variety of services and supports to individuals and families. As an advocacy organization, we work at the local, state and national level to encourage new and better opportunities for inclusive living, working and leisure for people with disabilities, while supporting self-advocates to achieve independence and dignity. Information about the services provided by The Arc of Moore County is also shared with area human service organizations by way of the United Way of Moore County’s 211 information data base.
