No two people are the same and what is challenging for one, may be a strength of another. At The
Arc of the Ozarks, we understand that for individuals to be successful, they must receive care and
support that are as unique as they are. We exist as a resource for our fellow community members
with disabilities to gain the skills and confidence to foster independence.
The Arc of the Ozarks is southwest Missouri’s largest provider of comprehensive services and
support for people with disabilities and their families reaching the Springfield, Joplin, Monett and
Kansas City areas. Since establishing in 1964, thousands of individuals throughout our region
have come to The Arc seeking residential support, specialized education programs, employment
opportunities, support programs for families and so much more.
As needs grow in our community, so do our services.
Regardless of the need, we’ve designed our services to have the staff and resources to help.
The Arc walks with your family throughout all of life’s stages and can help to create opportunities
for growth in a safe and caring environment.
We’re Here For You
