Homelike will never be Home…
That is why we only provide services to people in their own homes. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities have often been labeled by their disability and separated from the community. At The Arc, our services are grounded in two core beliefs; 1)everyone deserves the opportunity for a full life in their community, where they can live, learn, work, and socialize, while receiving the supports they need to live the life they choose, 2) regardless of level of support needs, everyone can and should be supported to live their life in the community. We provide residential supports to people in their own homes with supports designed to suit each person’s individual needs.
A Life Like Yours - Where We Work
The Arc of Southside assists people with Intellectual and Developmental disabilities gain competitive employment in the communities which they live.
There is more to life than work!
We have all had the Monday morning chat by the proverbial water cooler, “How was your weekend?”, “What did you do?” we ask our friends and co-workers. Shared stories of soccer games, dinners out with friends, or the occasional concert, permeate the conversations, while pleasantries and stories of lively weekends, are exchanged. But, often is the case for people with developmental disabilities, when asked the aforementioned questions, the stories don’t come. The reason is simple. Often, people with disabilities are separated, isolated and marginalized in society; and with that marginalization, the stories of nights out with friends, the new movie we just saw, or the restaurant we finally got to try, don’t come.
