The Arc Alliance serves you and our community in many ways. The Arc Alliance Children’s Services provides speech and communication therapies, hearing support, physical and occupational therapy and educational transition supports. The Arc Alliance Advocacy Services aids families and individuals with individualized education plans (IEP), residential and vocational issues, money management and complete program and service reviews.
