PARC helps children and adults focus on what they can do, rather than what they are unable to do. Children receive early intervention services from an interdisciplinary team including teachers, social workers nurses and therapists.

For adults, PARC embraces a “person-centered” approach that allows staff to assist clients in making their own choices. PARC staff also work with individuals who are important in the client’s life, such as family members and friends. Clients can actually design their lives choosing what they would like to do, where they would like to live and where they would like to work.

PARC promotes a high level of support and services for each individual in its 32 programs. Attention to each client's individual needs ensures they receive the highest quality care. Our children and adults are valued and appreciated as unique individuals and it is their personal goals and desires that keep us focused on our mission.

PARC’s mission is to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to exercise their independence, enjoy an enhanced quality of life and experience life to the fullest.
