Legislative News and Updates
Any of the services that people enjoy today is a direct result of decades of advocacy and support. All funding of intellectual and developmental disabilities services, from day programs to employment to social security, come from a government source and are directed by state and federal legislation.

OPARC is a member of CDSA and ACCSES, who lobby on behalf of people with disabilities.
The future depends on what you do today.
– Mahatma Ghandi
