About Arc of Onondaga

A group of concerned parents got together in 1951 to help ensure their children received the best educational and social services possible.  Since then, Arc of Onondaga has been providing quality services for people with developmental disabilities of all ages.  Arc of Onondaga, a chapter of NYSARC, Inc., is the largest private provider of these services in the county.

Arc of Onondaga provides services to over 3,000 individuals with developmental disabilities and their family members through a wide variety of services and programs.  It is the mission of Arc of Onondaga to assist individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve their fullest potential.

Arc provides residential, vocational, habilitative, clinical, and other important services on a daily basis at over 35 locations throughout Onondaga County.  Arc is a true community based organization, thriving on community involvement and inclusion as well as relying on community membership to build its base of support.
