The Arc of Aurora is a nonprofit organization that has supported the Aurora community since 1975. We advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families through advocacy, education, and individualized support.
We help people navigate systems, understand their options, and access the support they deserve. We work alongside individuals, families, schools, agencies, and community partners to promote inclusion, accountability, and meaningful change.
While we do not provide direct services such as housing or day programs, we focus on advocacy and systems change to help publicly funded programs better serve the people they are intended to support.
