Our History

ARC of Indian River County is a Non-Profit 501 (c) 3 agency, organized in 1975 by a group of parents, friends, volunteers, and professionals dedicated to meeting the needs of people with developmental disabilities in Indian River County. This grassroots movement was spawned out of the necessity to provide supports and services to those in the community who had a desperate need and limited resources.  On May 5, 2006, as we entered our fourth decade, we announced a new name and logo consistent with our current and future direction. We are focused on individual abilities for maximum societal integration and personal success. 

Since it’s inception, the services and supports ARC provided to the Community have changed countless times, from having an Early Intervention Program in the 1990’s, to a Summer Camp for children at the turn of the Millennia (2000), to building a Behavior Services Program today.

Text Box: Throughout our sea of change we have remained steadfast in our commitment to helping people with disabilities, ranging from developmental to traumatic brain injury, attain independence and live the life they want.

 

 

Our Future 

As the Treasure Coast continues to grow, our services and how we provide them also continues to grow.  We are venturing into new arenas; External Training, opening a new service area in Sebastian, and Supported Employment.  As we have since 1975, we are committed to maintaining our strong cutting edge level of expertise in our field.  Our individuals and the Community we serve will always be our main focus.
