Accessing the Community
The goal of Arc of Bristol County’s new Day Habilitation program is to support people with developmental disabilities to learn new skills in a community-based setting.
The Arc is committed to providing a range of opportunities to meet this goal through an ongoing effort to both establish partnerships with community members and preserve and expand upon the preexisting relationships of the individuals supported.
