Still in the Shadows with Their Future Uncertain

In a report on the top findings from the survey called Still in the Shadows with Their Future Uncertain, The Arc laid out a multi-pronged action plan calling on concerned individuals to join with The Arc to promote and protect the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, engage current lawmakers and candidates for office in the issues and make their voice heard in the halls of government, and encourage employers to hire people with I/DD and share with us  their challenges and success stories. We also encouraged individuals with I/DD and their families to share their stories with us and become connected to The Arc and the movement we are leading. Find out more about the report and The Arc’s action plan below.
