A Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to The Arc of Orleans County’s website.

We hope you will find this site interesting, informative and user-friendly.  We have taken great care to provide you with information you may need about The Arc, its programs and services.

Since a group of local parents of children with disabilities formed the agency in 1970 under a charter from NYSARC, Inc., we have been proud and privileged to serve the needs of people with disabilities in Orleans County.  The Arc of Orleans County offers a full range of programs and services to people from birth through their senior years.  We take great pride in the range and quality of the services that are available.

Please browse around this website and learn more about us – from our mission and vision statements to our program descriptions and Legacy of Love Endowment program.  If you have any questions or comments about what you see, please contact us.  There are ways to do this within each major program description.

Again, welcome.  Take your time.  We are eager to learn your thoughts, comments and questions.

Donald G. Colquhoun

Executive Director
