The Arc Lancaster Lebanon empowers people with disabilities and families to make informed choices, based on up-to-date knowledge. The individual or family has someone to talk to who understands their life and struggles and has the information and expertise to help them move forward, reducing isolation and increasing options for the person with the disability. We do not charge families for our services. We work to counter the stigma that people with disabilities encounter and overcome the barriers to inclusion and achievement.
