People with IDD are eager to find jobs and be supporting members of their communities, yet nine out of ten adults with IDD remain unemployed.

Supportive Living is a rapidly growing service area, with new generations of people with IDD and families eager to take advantage of this nimbler, more flexible model for housing.

The Arc ECT recently received federal and state funding to help improve the Group Home environment of our residents.

The Arc Eastern Connecticut was created to advocate and support people with IDD and their families. At The Arc ECT, each person benefits from personalized, comprehensive care to address their individual needs and wants.

The Arc ECT Cookie Factory has made this year’s gift giving so much easier. Our MADE WITH LOVE AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS AT THE ARC ECT® keepsake cookie tin is sure to leave a good impression on customers, employees and colleagues.

Our newly designed 3-Pack was introduced earlier this year — we’ve seen increased interest in the new packaging, including multiple couples order the 3-Pack cookies as favors for their weddings!”

This spring, The Arc Eastern Connecticut launched an accessible Cookie Truck as a mobile extension of The Cookie Factory in Woodstock.

This special week honors the hard work, heart, and dedication of Direct Support Professionals who support individuals with disabilities to live full, independent lives in their communities.
