About | The Arc Of Shelby County

Mission Statement

The Arc of Shelby County

provides services and supports

to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families

so that they may live a

happy, productive and successful life.

The Arc of Shelby County, which was chartered in the 1970’s as a support group for parents of children with mental retardation, has grown into an advocacy agency that now serves over 300 children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families each year with programs and services such as the ones you will read about in this folder. We have watched our capacity to provide life-changing programs and services to individuals blossom into a potential to provide tools for improving an already strong and growing community. As we move forward into the growth that our future promises, we invite you to join us.

The Arc of Shelby County is an affiliate of The Arc of The United States and The Arc of Alabama and is a partner of

The United Way of Central Alabama.
