Since 1953, The
Arc of Multnomah - Clackamas has been advocating for,
supporting and serving children and adults with mental retardation
and/or related developmental disabilities and their families. Mental
retardation affects one family out of ten, yet relatively little
attention is paid to it by the public. In Multnomah County, it is
estimated that there are 20,000 individuals with this cognitive
disability.
The Arc of Multnomah -
Clackamas, serving both Multnomah and Clackamas Counties
, offers a wide variety of community programs for individuals
and families, all designed to help children and adults with developmental
disabilities achieve their greatest potential.
