To date, there happen to be 700 Arc programs in this country, providing invaluable service and support for people with developmental disabilities and their families. Since this unique nonprofit charity was created in 1961, much as changed in how our society treats individuals with special needs, and Arc deserved a great deal of credit for those fundamental shifts in perception.

We sat down with Arc’s CEO, Jonathon Rondeau, at the Bullitt House for a check in on what Arc does, and what it needs to continue their important work on the Mid-Shore.
