“Because of the assistive technology I received from The Arc Baltimore, I’m able to go to work and school and live this beautiful life. The Arc truly changed my life.”

- Seth Burdine, individual

“The employees that I work with all help me and support me to get done the things I need to do. They are like my family. I love my job.”

- Paris Price, supported individual

“At the mom support group, I found out about Parent’s Day Out and thought to myself how great it would be to have four hours of kid-free time. We use it as often as we can and would recommend it to any interested parent.”

There are four employees now from The Arc and they’ve done great. It’s been wonderful for our entire team to work with them as well. They make our workplace better.
