History

Established in 1965.

The Arc of Tempe exists because of a very basic, yet profoundly important belief: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are worthy of love and respect and deserve to be fully valued members of society. It was from that premise that in 1965, a group of loving parents founded an organization that would eventually become The Arc of Tempe.

Today, The Arc of Tempe provides a unique life skills and recreation program for those 16 years of age or older with intellectual or developmental

disabilities (I/​DD). Our mission reflects our founding belief: We empower and enrich the lives of persons with developmental disabilities by teaching self-​advocacy, life skills and civic involvement through hands-​on learning and recreational activities.
