The Arc of Aurora works with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to strengthen access, opportunity, and self determination.
Our core program is individual advocacy. Through this program, individuals and families are set up with a advocate and placed on a caseload, working one on one over time to identify goals, navigate systems, and address barriers.
This relationship based approach allows us to provide consistent, personalized support focused on what matters most to each person.
In addition to individual advocacy, we provide:
• Information and resource navigation
• Training and education
• Systems change and policy advocacy
• Community engagement and outreach
Simply put, we help people get what they need from systems that are meant to support them and work to make those systems more responsive, inclusive, and accountable.
