The Arc of Katy

All people deserve opportunities for connection, growth, and purpose.

Since 1989, The Arc of Katy has filled the gap that many families face when high school ends and structured supports fade for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Today, The Arc of Katy is proud to provide high-quality, affordable programs that encourage connection, foster independence, build confidence, and support families across Fort Bend, Waller, and Harris Counties.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities that enable each person to be included as a respected and active member of the community throughout their lifetime.

🚌 This is what the power of community looks like.

We started this year with a lofty goal: replace our aging buses over the next several years. We never imagined our community would rally around us so strongly that we would raise enough to purchase TWO new buses this year!

Yesterday, Bus #2 officially arrived—and we couldn’t think of a better person to receive the keys than our participant Billy. At our Annual Gala & Auction, Billy stood alongside us during the paddle raise and helped inspire our guests to give toward new transportation. And anyone who knows Billy knows he LOVES cars and is a very proud Ford guy—so finding out our newest bus is a Ford made the moment even better!

These buses mean so much more than transportation. Our community helped make them possible, and now they help our participants be active members of that very same community—volunteering, exploring, building friendships, trying new things, and going places together.

To every person who raised a paddle, made a gift, or helped us reach this goal: THANK YOU. You made this possible. 💙

And, of course, a new bus needed a name! Our participants voted, and the winner was TORO. 🤘🏈 We’re pretty big fans around here, so we think it fits perfectly!

Billy got his Ford. Our participants got Toro. And The Arc of Katy gets to keep going places together. 🚌💙

If you see Toro rolling around Katy, give us a honk and a wave! 👋

We’re grateful to our neighbors at TE Connectivity for investing in new opportunities for The Arc of Katy participants!

Thanks to a generous $4,500 grant, our participants will have the opportunity to take part in STEM-inspired field trips that bring science, technology, engineering, and health to life through hands-on experiences in our community.

We recently had the opportunity to visit TE Connectivity to accept the grant, tour their facility, and meet some of the people behind the work happening right here in our community. It made this support even more meaningful and gave us a wonderful firsthand look at STEM in action!

From exploring electricity and engineering to discovering how the human body works, these outings will encourage curiosity, learning, and discovery in fun and meaningful ways.

At The Arc of Katy, community-based experiences are an important part of how we help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities stay active, engaged, and connected. We are so thankful to TE Connectivity for helping us create even more opportunities to learn, explore, and experience our community together.

Thank you, TE Connectivity, for being a great neighbor and a wonderful community partner! 💙

One of the things we love most about the disability community is that so many organizations are working toward the same goal: creating a more inclusive, supportive future for individuals with disabilities and their families. While The Arc of Katy's focus is serving our local community, we're always happy to share opportunities that can help strengthen disability services and advocacy across Texas.

If you're an adult sibling of a person with a disability, or know someone who is, we'd love for you to take a look at this opportunity from Raising Texas Voices below.

Adult siblings of people with disabilities bring an important and often underrepresented perspective to conversations about advocacy, services, and support.

Raising Texas Voices is currently seeking input from adult siblings living in Texas, and the survey will be closing soon. The experiences shared through this study will help shape a better understanding of what families need and how disability programs and policies can be strengthened across the state.

Please consider taking the survey or sharing it with an adult sibling in your network.
