Information & Family Support

*Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in King County and beyond, The Arc of King County is here to help. We offer resources, information and support over the phone to people with I/DD, parents and family members and other members of our disability community. 

We listen to individual and family stories without judgement. Our team understands the unique challenges and joys found within the intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) community and is available to listen to concerns and suggest resources or support.

We empower individuals and families by providing tips and tools to locate, access, and navigate the various I/DD resources and services in King County. We also empower individuals and families by showing them that they are not alone in their journey.

We connect individual and families with resources as well as with each other to develop a network of support.

The Arc of King County provides specialized services and activities in English and Spanish. For other languages, we utilize interpreters.
