The Arc of Virginia promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes. The Arc of Virginia is the state chapter of The Arc, and is comprised of 26 local chapters across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each chapter serves as a resource to help people with ID/DD access the services they need, providing family support throughout the process. The Arc advocates for all people with ID/DD, regardless of age, diagnosis or complexity of support needs. This includes those who live in the community, as well as those who live in institutions.
