If you are a leader or professional in the disability sector, please

communities, to your networks, to self-advocates, and to all the
families and caregivers who are the recipients of your hard work and
dedication

The Arc FINDS (Family and Individual Needs for Disability Supports) is
a free, online survey designed to tap into the knowledge and
perspectives of individuals and families within the I/DD community,
including self-advocates.

Results from this confidential survey will provide greater
understanding about what services are available, what gaps exist and
what new supports are needed.

The Arc is working in collaboration with the following organizations
that in addition to chapters of The Arc are also assisting us in
promoting The Arc FINDS study:

American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities;
Autism Society of America;
Best Buddies;
National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities;
National Council on Independent Living;
National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities
Services; and
Office on Disability Employment Policy in the Department of Labor.
