Easterseals Arc of Northeast Indiana
Easterseals Arc is a non-profit agency providing support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our programs include employment services, day programs, supported living, respite care, recreation, and more.
A few things to know about Easterseals Arc:
- We are non-profit. We care about the individuals we serve, not shareholders, and we seek out donors and community partners to help meet needs not covered by individuals’ benefits.
- We are local. Although we are affiliated with two national organizations, Easterseals and The Arc, we are an independent agency with deep community ties in northeast Indiana.
- We have history. Easterseals Arc was formed in 1954 by a small group of Fort Wayne parents who held a dream for their children with developmental disabilities. Originally known as the Johnny Appleseed School, the founding mission was to educate children with special needs.
