The Arc Montgomery County is one of the largest and oldest nonprofit organizations in the U.S. state of Maryland that serves individuals, families and employers affected by intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A day program for adults, the precursor of today's employment-oriented Vocational Services Division, opened in 1960.
In 1992, the Karasik Child Care Center opened its doors to include children with and without special needs.
In 1998, a partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington led to the opening of After All, an inclusive after-school program for youth and adolescents.
The Arc continues to look for new ways to create a more inclusive community and to broaden its comprehensive services.
