Philosophy

We have a holistic approach to services

There is no one answer to the type of support one needs to be successful;  it is a group of solutions that includes but is not limited to assistive  technology, staffing, natural supports and community. Transportation and relationships along with social and recreational activities are critical to success and must be built into the service design. MidState Arc will continue to grow and evolve our services and look forward to your input and support.
