"I want to take this opportunity to share my impressions regarding the services and supports provided by the Chandler Gilbert Arc. Having worked in the I/DD field for 54 years, I am sharing my impressions in this context, as a trainer, administrator and consultant in 49 states working with thousands of staff and many hundreds of provider agencies. Clearly the Chandler Gilbert Arc is an exemplary provider of supports to people with I/DD. The Organization’s focus on quality of life for those supported is to be highly celebrated. Staff at all levels of the Organization demonstrate outstanding competence in what they do, combined with remarkable compassion and sensitivity toward those they support. Additionally, I was very impressed by the enthusiasm and motivation expressed by staff . Families and the individuals supported should consider themselves most fortunate to have an Organization like the Chandler Gilbert Arc, dedicated to the vision that those supported will be valued and productive members of their community." - Thomas E.
