Funded by the Alabama Department of Mental Health/Developmental Disability Division, The Arc of Alabama provides Information and Referral services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. The goal of this service is to inform those utilizing the service of the various service and upport options available to them based on their needs, to connect them with those resources and to collect data in an effort to determine possible trends in needs. Most who use this service are not aware of opportunities for future planning that include respite, residential, employment, and other community inclusive support options that are designed to support a person to participate fully in their community.
