Welcome to The Arc of Pennsylvania
The Arc of Pennsylvania promotes the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes.
An Action Alert notifies subscribers of critical legislation or government action generally five or six times a year that impact Pennsylvanians with disabilities. The Arc of PA issues Action Alerts to gain grassroot support from our subscribers. Subscribing to receive Action Alerts will assure your knowledge of timely disability-related issues while automatically identifying your legislator and allowing you to call or conveniently send an email. For example, we were able to notify thousands that our state legislature was considering charging monthly premiums for children with disabilities “loophole/PH 95” receiving medical assistance services.
"Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council (PADDC) is recruiting for an Executive Director who possesses creativity, strong leadership and initiative, and a deep visionary passion for the mission and goals of the Council. The work of the Executive Director is performed under the direction of the Developmental Disabilities Council appointed by the Governor and with the support of the Department of Human Services."
