Schenectady ARC

Since 1952 Schenectady ARC has provided individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities with the resources, services, and supports that enable them to advocate and participate within their communities. For over 60 years our families, staff and partners have helped in our mission to assist individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to enjoy healthy and rewarding lives.

Today, Schenectady ARC is focused on supporting individuals with a wide variety of options. Using a very person-centered planning process, Schenectady ARC staff work with people (and their family members or other advocates) to find the right combination of supports and services that will help the individual achieve his or her goals and dreams. Schenectady ARC supports individuals seeking employment, residential services, day services, medical or other clinical services, recreation programs, and respite services. Schenectady ARC operates programs throughout Schenectady County that offer options and supports for individuals of all ages and all abilities.
