This Is What We Stand For:
All children with developmental disabilities will live with parents in communities.
Our children deserve nothing less and so much more. Tony Paulauski
Given the proper supports and assistance, all people with disabilities can fully participant
in communities and contribute to society.
The least expensive solution, inclusion, strengthens all of our communities and offers the
greatest benefits to everyone. Tony Paulauski
All adults with developmental disabilities will live in communities close to family and friends.
The most basic civil right to choose your own community and who you live with is a right that
has been routinely denied to people with developmental disabilities. Tony Paulauski
Since being founded over 50 years ago, The Arc of Illinois continues to actively promote and
initiate statewide long-term systemic change for people with developmental disabilities and
their families throughout the state through our tireless advocacy and innovative programs. |
