Our Story

Chandler Gilbert Arc is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing teaching and support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

First conceived in 1975 as “Chandler Arc”, by a group of parents who wanted to provide life options for their (8) adult children with disabilities, CGArc now proudly serves over 500 individuals per year with specialized community-based employment, housing, and adult day programs.

Our mission is to facilitate growth for people with disabilities through choice, experience, guidance, and respect.

Chandler Gilbert Arc is licensed and funded by the State of Arizona Department of Economic Security Division of Developmental Disabilities and State of Arizona Rehabilitation Services Administration and other private funding sources. At the national level, we are affiliated with The Arc of the United States. At the state level, we are affiliated with The Arc of Arizona.

“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.”
