About Us

The Arc of Burlington County is a non-profit organization founded in 1956 by a group of parents who realized how few services were available then for their children with developmental disabilities and decided to do something about it.

They formed the Burlington County Unit for Retarded Children, which later became The Burlington County Unit of the New Jersey Association for Retarded Citizens, and, in 1998, officially, The Arc of Burlington County. Today we continue to serve adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families throughout Burlington County.

To help us achieve our goal of improving the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families, we offer a wide range of programs that include Residential Services with community residential homes and apartments for adults, Adult Day Services with five adult day programs, an extensive Social Activities Program open to adults 18 and over throughout Burlington County with developmental disabilities, and Home and Community Services, through which our staff work with individuals and families who live in the community but need assistance with life skills, money management, shopping, medical appointments, and a range of other activities, while still maintaining independence in their own homes.
