Supporting families and people of all abilities in Bristol County Massachusetts

The Arc of Bristol County provides life changing services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families throughout Bristol County Massachusetts and the state of Rhode Island.

11/28/2025

In the most recent RI Dept. of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities & Hospitals newsletter, they featured National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) , a time to recognize the contributions of workers with disabilities and the employers who support them.

On October 28, Jay MacKay from BHDDH and Melanie Spardella from ORS visited Gingersnaps Bakery in Lincoln, RI. ORS presented owner Kayla with a plaque for employment excellence. BHDDH also honored employee Muhamet Samate, who has worked at the bakery since 2023 as a dishwasher and assistant. Muhamet, who receives supports from BHDDH provider proAbility , was awarded a Certificate of Employee Excellence.

We are so thankful for employers like Kayla at Gingersnaps, who truly lead the way in inclusive employment!

🎉 This , we’re celebrating 2 years of dedication and advocacy!

Join us in congratulating Jacob Anderson, Autism Service Navigator at The Arc of Bristol County, on his 2nd work anniversary!

Jacob has been a strong advocate for individuals on the autism spectrum—creating spaces where everyone feels understood, supported, and empowered. Since joining our team, his commitment to inclusion and human rights shines through in every connection he makes.

Jacob shares:
“This month marks my second year with The Arc of Bristol County. My passion for Human Rights and Autism advocacy drives me every day. One of the most meaningful parts of my week is the group I established, ASD Social, where I see connections form, confidence grow, and people just be themselves. Those moments remind me why I do this work—to build community and celebrate every person’s unique story.”

💙 We’re so grateful for Jacob’s compassion and commitment, and the difference he makes every day in the lives of those we support.

The Arc of Massachusetts supports basing decisions that impact the well-being of individuals with autism, including vaccine guidance, on sound science and evidence. Rhetoric and unsupported opinions have no place in public health.

The scientific community has definitively moved past the disproven theory that vaccines cause autism. The Arc is concerned about the misinformation put forth by the federal government and its agencies, which is leading to confusion in the autism community.

The Arc strongly encourages continued broad research into the complex genetic and environmental factors relating to this condition to better understand and serve the diverse needs of people with autism.
