...Serving persons with developmental disabilities since 1953

Welcome to the official website for The Arc of Sedgwick County! Thank you for visiting The Arc of Sedgwick County's Home Page.  This site is meant to be a resource to you and your family.   The Arc, (formerly the Association for Retarded Citizens),  is a not-for-profit agency serving individuals with developmental disabilities including: Mental Retardation, Down syndrome, Autism, Epilepsy, and Cerebral Palsy. The Arc provides support and services to benefit the entire family.  The Arc is often the first link to community services and one that can follow an individual throughout his/her life. Our mission:  To improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and their families providing educational and social opportunities to enhance development of individual potential while advocating for supports and services in the community. We are funded by The United Way of the Plains, Sedgwick County, Program Service Fees, and Donations from caring individuals like you.

THANK YOU to all who supported our Shooting Stars Celebrity and Community Auction.  Your support makes it a success.
