The Arc was founded in 1955 by parents of children with disabilities. For over 50 years, we have worked to assist Bartholomew County residents in working, living and playing together in this community. We are a 501C3 non-profit organization.

Our Board of Directors are made up of self-advocates, parents, professionals and community members that believe in improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities in our area. For more information on how to become a board member or attend a board meeting, please call our office at 812-372-0610 or email thearcofbc@yahoo.com.
