TheArcLink's mission is to provide resources through technology that empower individuals with disabilities and their families to make sound choices about services that support their full participation in the community.

Empowering people to choose is not simply providing information, but giving individuals the opportunity to interact with others with similar needs and experiences. Increasing the ability for consumers to make quality-based choices will eventually raise standards of quality for all service-providing organizations as they face greater accountability to their customers and more competition in the marketplace.

The world is changing very rapidly in its approach to people with disabilities and their families, and in the right direction. Yet the everyday task of survival in the community can be daunting for individuals and families who have little or no information on available services and supports. Many people do not know how to access services, are unaware of choices that exist, or of long waiting lists and the importance of applying for services early.

TheArcLink wishes to extend our grateful appreciation to the Sponsors, Underwriters, and Friends of TheArcLink for their generous support and unwavering dedication to our shared mission. Not only have these individuals and organizations given their financial backing to the development of this site and our state TheArcLink sites, they have genuinely embraced our cause of improving the lives of persons with developmental disabilities.
