The Arc Baltimore's Advocacy Efforts
The Arc Baltimore has a long history of advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), and our policy goals are:
- Promoting laws and regulations that assure equal rights, opportunity, and treatment for everyone with I/DD.
- Securing well-funded and integrated public education programs for students with I/DD (including other services such as daycare, foster care, infants and toddlers programs, and respite care)
- Preserving and advancing publicly supported benefits (including income, housing, health services, and other necessary supports) for people with I/DD who cannot (fully) support themselves with their work income.
- Other matters that improve the quality of life for children and adults with I/DD and their families.
