Testimonials

“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

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

“I don’t know what I would have done without Melissa, my sister’s live-in support staff. It’s like Melissa knows my sister better than I do. She is very in tune with Doris.”

- Shirley Garrett, sister

“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

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.
