The Arc Baltimore has a proud legacy of advocating for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our advocacy efforts are grounded in the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live, learn, work, and thrive in their community.
Supporting legislation and policies that ensure fair treatment and full inclusion of people with I/DD in all aspects of society.
Advocating for well-funded, inclusive education systems—along with critical services like early intervention, daycare, foster care, and respite care.
Protecting and enhancing access to vital supports such as income assistance, housing, healthcare, and services for those unable to fully support themselves through work.
Promoting policies that enhance independence, dignity, and community participation for both children and adults with I/DD and their families.
