Parents' Anxiety is

Adults with
Disabilities Become
More Independent
Through ARCh, adults with disabilities receive
information and assistance with housing, transportation,
medical care and workplace issues. In addition, they
take classes to learn social skills and strategies to
increase their independence. |
Families Have Peace of
Mind for the Future
One of the greatest worries parents face is the question of
what will happen to their child after they are no longer
able to care for them. Through ARCh's Life Needs
Trust, offered in partnership with Waukesha State Bank,
families can arrange for the financial security of their
children long into the future. |
The Community
is Served
Through ARCh's Teen Times, teens with disabilities have the opportunity
to participate in meaningful community service.
Whether volunteering at food pantries, nursing homes, animal
care facilities or homeless shelters, everyone
is capable of service. |

speaking, marketing, planning and organization through the

Adults
with Disabilities Experience
Community Life
Adults with disabilities can participate in everyday
community life as active citizens. ARCh's popular
Leisure Services program offers monthly dances for
adults, in addition to art classes, fitness activities and
outings to movies, sporting events, concerts and plays. |

Our Communities are Safer
ARCh's award-winning educational presentations about
tolerance and acceptance reach thousands of children and
adults each year. These inspiring programs promote
bully-free school environments and increase our community's
respect for all kinds of differences. |
Lives and
Money are Saved
Tax dollars and human lives are saved through education
about preventable causes of disabilities. The
PACE
(Prevention Awareness & Community Education) program works
to reduce the incidence of Shaken baby syndrome, Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome and lead poisoning, while promoting
awareness of child safety and early childhood brain
development. |
