Testimonials

The Arc gave us the opportunity to get to know the staff person that would support my granddaughter Tyieshia before she started. We got to see if she was the right match. We appreciate her. She is truly there for her.

- Alice Brown, grandparent

“After my husband passed away, I needed help to fill that role with my son Anthony. We both got a good feeling when we first met his Family Living staff Heather. She is very encouraging and helps him to come out of his shell and try new things.”

- Doris Hall, mother

“I had lived with my grandmother for so long, and I was scared about getting my own apartment with support staff. The staff were very encouraging and helped me to find the best apartment that was close to my family and my job.”

- Paris Price, supported individual

“The Arc is a big part of my daughter Crystal’s life. Over the years, they’ve helped her with her jobs and her art lessons. Crystal has a lot of friends at The Arc, and we’ve joined The Arc in Annapolis to speak up for all people with disabilities.”

- Barbara Wagner, parent

“Over the last ten years, the environment at PDP has provided employees from The Arc a chance to be part of the working community. It gives them a sense of worth and pride that their contributions play an integral part of our process and success. They form relationships with the staff and become part of the PDP family. Furthermore, it educates our staff that people with disabilities are also people with abilities. This is a lesson that we hope can translate across all communities.”

- Brian Hartman, PDP Group
