The United Arc provides an array of flexible services for individuals of all ages with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. During fiscal year 2012, The United Arc provided services to more than 800 individuals and families from 47 communities in Franklin and Hampshire counties and in surrounding communities. We are pleased to have celebrated our 60th year serving citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 2011 and look forward to many more years of service.
