The Arc of Northeastern Pennsylvania

The Arc of Northeastern Pennsylvania is a grassroots organization formed in 1955 by a group of parents seeking public education for their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since that time a growing number of parents, neighbors, and members of the business and professional communities have faced numerous challenges in advocating for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Arc of Northeastern Pennsylvania is affiliated with The Arc of the United States; The Arc of Pennsylvania; The Lackawanna-Susquehanna (L-S) Behaviorial Health Intellectual Disabilities Early Intervention (BHIDEI) Program, MH/MR of Wayne County and Carbon – Monroe – Pike MH/DS. The Arc of NEPA is also a member agency of the United Way of Lackawanna, Wayne and Carbon Counties.
