Arc GLOW is dedicated to helping people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) meet their full potential. Our goal is to eliminate barriers and help individuals engage in the world. We strive to help people we serve find fulfillment in learning, personal relationships, employment, recreation, the arts, and more.

We are a private, nonprofit organization founded by parents and friends of people with developmental and intellectual disabilities. We serve individuals with a variety of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and neurological conditions. In 2021, The Arc of Livingston-Wyoming and Arc of Genesee Orleans, two neighboring organizations sharing the same mission, merged to form the Arc GLOW. GLOW is an acronym for the counties served by the agency - Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming.

Arc GLOW serves up to 2,000 individuals with I/DD of all ages throughout the GLOW Counties. We also benefit the local economy as one of the area’s largest employers, with over 1,000 employees who provide assessment, health, educational, therapeutic, supportive, vocational, and residential services.

We recognize that each individual has unique needs. Our staff is available to help your family set personal goals and create a plan for the future
