The Arc Tennessee is a membership organization for people with disabilities, their families, friends and professionals who assist them in reaching their goals. The Arc actively pursues and welcomes all people with an interest in assisting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide both systems and legislative advocacy. The Arc Tennessee provides guidance to individuals and families who contact our office for help. We collaborate with other advocacy organizations across the state to enhance existing and new services for people with disabilities and to initiate new policies and procdures to improve their quality of life. The Arc Tennessee offers various education and training programs for families, people with disabilities and the community. We cover such topics as navigating the system to Self Determination, to Law Enforcement Training when interacting with a person with disabilities. We offer facilitated strategic planning (PATH) for individuals with disabilities and other non-profit organizations. The Arc of Tennessee publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Arc Connection, and a monthly newsletter, The Legislative Monitor. Both publications keep members and other interested individuals and agencies informed about the current issues and legislation that affect the lives of Tennesseans with disabilities. The Arc takes advantage of all opportunities to communicate to the community at large through information fairs, workshops, and seminars. Our largest event of each is year is the Tennessee Disability Mega Conference. We lead with integrity, justice, courage and respect. We work with individuals, organizations and coalitions in a collaborative fashion.
