Arc of Northwest Indiana Inc

The Arc of Indiana, established in 1956 by parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), is dedicated to empowering families with essential information and resources to support their loved ones in leading fulfilling lives. With over 30,000 members across 44 chapters in Indiana and a national presence of 140,000 members in more than 700 chapters, The Arc advocates for positive change in public policy and societal attitudes towards individuals with disabilities.

The organization focuses on promoting self-sufficiency and independence for people with IDD, while also working to prevent disabilities through education on prenatal care and the dangers of substance abuse during pregnancy. As the largest national community-based organization serving this demographic, The Arc serves as a vital spokesperson and advocate for families and their loved ones, striving to create a more accepting world.
