The Arc of San Antonio

The Arc of San Antonio has been a cornerstone for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families since 1954. Founded by parents seeking better opportunities for their children, The Arc offers a continuum of support through various life stages. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for people with IDD by providing direct care, case management, and community integration services. With programs like Adult Life Enrichment and Community Living Assistance, they focus on fostering independence, socialization, and personal growth in a supportive environment.

The Arc of San Antonio offers specialized programs tailored to the needs of individuals with IDD. The Adult Life Enrichment program provides day habilitation activities, including functional life skills training, enrichment activities like art and music, and health and wellness workshops. Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) offer home and community-based alternatives to institutional care, with services like attendant care, specialized therapies, and respite care. Family and Community Support Services assist families in navigating resources and coordinating care, regardless of age or diagnosis. Staff are trained in medical supports, positive behavior strategies, and emergency preparedness to ensure high-quality care.
