About the Charity

Virginia is ranked 39th in the nation when it comes to services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities � an appalling statistic for families in our region whose loved ones (some 39,000) have autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, rare chromosomal disorders, and other disabilities. The Arc of Northern Virginia provides services to residents of all ages � free workshops and online resources that address critical topics like navigating the complex disability system, honing life-planning tools, developing critical tech supports. Its advocacy work gives families a voice; a special needs trust helps families plan for a child�s future; and Transition POINTS aids them as they make decisions at key points across their loved one's lifespan. The Arc responds to thousands of calls and emails a year on everything from therapists to jobs to housing options, and demand for services continues to grow.
