is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization that develops and operates residential and support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization that develops and operates residential service programs for persons with intellectual disabilities in Virginia. Founded in 1973 by a small group of families, our first program provided respi

te services to individuals and families at a time when there was virtually no services available in northern Virginia for young adults who had “aged out” of the school system. The organization has evolved over the years and we now operate 17 additional community based group homes, along with a variety of family support programs. Nearly 100 persons live in our full-time community homes. Some 50 to 60 persons use the respite program annually. And, many others are involved in the family support programs we operate in cooperation with the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board. Our mission is to develop and operate residential programs and services to further opportunities and life skills of individuals with intellectual disabilities and other developmental disabilities. Programs and services are designed to develop and support independence through personal choice and futures planning; community and family education and involvement; advocacy for civil and human rights; and acquisition and administration of resources needed to provide appropriate and effective services.

The R-word is back, and people with disabilities are at the center of its impact. We won't accept a culture where the people we care about are demeaned.

The New York Times just reported on the resurgence of this slur and featured three people connected to The Arc: advocates Jill Eglé and Nicole LeBlanc, and our CEO Katy Neas. Katy is clear: it is “language used by bullies to bully.” Jill shared what it was like to be targeted: “They all called me the R-word, and I tried to be nice, but it was hurtful.” Nicole described the harm: “It makes me want to run, hide and curl up into a ball.”

We've fought for decades to push this word out of laws and everyday life. Seeing it return is heartbreaking, and it's a warning sign about how we as a society value respect and inclusion.

Please read and share. Then do one simple thing today: don't repeat it, and don't laugh it off when someone else does.
