The Arc Looks Ahead at 2012

Dear Friends of The Arc:

The New Year is a great time to figure out what you want to accomplish and like everyone, we here at The Arc have a full plate of new initiatives. Click here to read about some of the new things we will be working on in 2012.


End The Wait. Please Donate!

There are thousands of children, youth, and adults in Maryland who have developmental disabilities and are on the Maryland Waiting List. Just a small portion of your tax refund can help the Maryland Waiting List Fund provide services for families, job training and employment, opportunities to live in the community and crisis prevention. Click here for information on the DDA Waiting List. Click here for a donation coupon you can include with your Maryland State income tax return.


Siblings Unite!

Earlier this month, The Arc announced a new partnership with the national Sibling Leadership Network (SLN) and formed The Arc's National Sibling Council to foster the active involvement of siblings of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The sibling relationship is unique and siblings are critical to ensuring the full inclusion and participation of their loved ones in all aspects of life. The partnership with SLN and the National Sibling Council will connect siblings with each other and offer them opportunities to impact policy, service delivery and the quality of life for millions of Americans with I/DD. The programs will also offer support for those looking for answers to questions unique to their families. Click the link to visit the “I Am A Sibling” page at thearc.org to get involved. Your membership in The Arc at the local, state or national level entitles you to membership in the National Sibling Council.

Vietnamese Delegation Visits The Arc

The Maryland Coalition for Integrated Education (MCIE) accompanied Delegates from Viet Nam on their visits to preschool, elementary and secondary school programs. The Delegation had the opportunity to observe and discuss early intervention, interagency coordination, transition planning and employment preparation in local school jurisdictions. They concluded their activities with a visit to The Arc, where they met with parents of children with disabilities, learned about the benefits and issues families face and why they want their children included in their neighborhood schools.

The Delegates stated that the system in the United States benefited the children much more than that of the system in Viet Nam. There are no services resembling the early intervention services our children receive and services and supports for children as they age are non-existent.
Although not at The Arc to discuss adult programs, the Delegates noticed the vans picking up participants at Bridges, our medical day program.

This led to a discussion about the many Arc programs, from day and support services to residential. They noted, sadly, that adults with disabilities in their country do not have such opportunities and advantages. They expressed a desire to learn more about services in the United States and, of course, we invited them to make a return visit.
