The Arc-PPR has been a part of the Pikes Peak region for 69 years, protecting the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), promoting quality of life for all people, and helping people with IDD reach their dreams and achieve their goals through exceptional advocacy and a fundamental belief in everyone’s ability to thrive. We empower individuals with IDD to step confidently into the spotlight, fostering inclusivity, and the celebration of all abilities.
Societal discrimination toward people with disabilities makes it difficult for them to access basic human rights. This group of people will likely struggle with poverty, abuse, loneliness, homelessness and more in their lifetime. Access to advocacy, supports, social and educational opportunities are crucial for people with IDD to participate in their communities and achieve their goals.
Expand the Succeeding in School and Life: A Parent Empowerment Program by hiring more Educational Navigators. Navigation Services are parent support services that empower and further parents’ educational and social goals for their children.
90% of every dollar The Arc Pikes Peak Region brings in goes directly back to the disability community.
“I cannot say enough good things about how much The Arc Pikes Peak Region helped me and my son. We were able to get an IEP in place for my son at school that we would not have been able to do without help. I am so grateful to them for all their services and guidance. Thank you!” — Anonymous parent of child with IDD who received advocacy from The Arc PPR
