What Is ArcMorris?
ArcMorris assists people with intellectual disabilities and their families by providing services and information in a caring and sensitive manner. We help the individuals we serve lead fuller lives and make positive contributions to their communities through activities and programs that welcome everyone with a family atmosphere. Parents and families founded ArcMorris to provide help for their loved ones, and we have never forgotten how important family ties are. We treat our individuals and families as our own.
