Brief history of The Arc of Bristol County: It must have been heartbreaking. To have a new baby in your arms, and the doctors saying because of the child’s special needs, you should put him or her “away,” essentially forget about them. Such was the case for many families prior to the 1950’s. In 1959, a group of courageous families from the Attleboro area joined forces, wanting to raise their children with developmental disabilities themselves, but knowing they needed support to do so. These were the founding families of The Arc of Bristol County. Wonder if they could have imagined 51 years later, their kitchen table organization would be serving 2,000 individuals annually, offering tremendous opportunities for children and adults with disabilities? As a result of their efforts, and the efforts of hundreds of other families around the world, people with disabilities are more integrated into their communities, have full rights to education and employment, and now have opportunities that would never have been dreamed of half a century ago.

People with intellectual disabilities have a safe place to live at CPARC, and services that encourage them to grow. “CPARC helps us grow and grow and grow, like a flower,” says Bryan, one of the folks we support. Just 60 years ago, people with disabilities were living in institutional settings. At that time, the only option for parents of a child with a disability was to place their child in a state institution. A group of concerned parents created CPARC in 1953 to offer an alternative to institutionalization for their children with special needs. The mission of The Arc of Cumberland & Perry Counties (CPARC) is to empower, inspire, and educate people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and the community. “You help people, like my son, feel self-sufficient,” one mother says.
