The Arc-Solano

The mission of The Arc-Solano is to promote the greatest personal growth, community understanding, and full participation of people with developmental disabilities and their families through support, education, and advocacy. 

For more than 70 years, we have been empowering Solano County residents to promote and protect their rights and interests, while enriching the quality of their lives. Currently, we provide three Core Programs that support adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities:

• Transitional Services: Based on our mission and guiding principles, TS Instructors provide assessment, training, and support for people who wish to live independently in the community. Curriculum includes money, home, and health management.
• Alternatives in Curriculum & Training (ACT) is a full-time, site-based day program with a behavioral emphasis that has been serving clients for over 35 years. ACT stresses both personal choice and responsibility within an organized learning environment, meaning consumers are encouraged to make wise decisions and must take responsibility for the results.
• Tailored Day Service (TDS) is a unique, community-based day program that focuses on volunteerism, employment skills, higher learning, and community integration. Tailored Day is exactly that- it is a program that is tailored to the consumer's needs and wants.  

We also have our Value-Added programs, which enhance our consumers’ experiences with the Arc-Solano. This includes our Art@Arc program, which is a safe space for our consumers to practice freedom of expression and choice-making skills. Our Anna Scopesi Art Gallery is open during regular business hours to visitors!
