MidState Arc is a nonprofit dedicated to enabling people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.
Founded by families in 1952 and still operated with a great deal of input from families today, our agency supports hundreds of individuals in 26 Connecticut towns surrounding our headquarters in Meriden. Through residential services, employment and volunteer programs, children’s programs and more, we empower people with disabilities to develop skills, form meaningful relationships, contribute to their community and meet the challenges of daily life.
