More than fifty (50) years ago The Arc of the Three Rivers began providing advocacy and services to children with intellectual and other developmental disabilities in Kanawha and Putnam Counties. Since then, our organization has grown and we are presently providing services to both adults and children and have added the counties of Boone and Clay.
The mission of the Arc of the Three Rivers, Inc. is to advocate and provide services to individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to achieve full inclusion in the community where they live, work and play.
The organization's Vision states "The Arc of The Three Rivers strives to improve the quality of life to all individuals within the intellectually and developmentally disabled community through advocacy and services which promote community involvement, education, productive employment, recreation, and a positive home life." We promote leadership for today and tomorrow and work with others in addressing the needs and aspirations of the people served while promoting understanding, acceptance and assimilation into the community.
The Arc of the Three Rivers, Inc. offers a wide variety of programs and services designed to enhance the daily lives of individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Services range from advocacy, residential and family support to providing the training and assistance necessary to achieve independence and developing self-esteem.
