The Arc of the Capital Area

Empowering Central Texans with intellectual & developmental disabilities since 1949 through case management and innovative programs.

When The Arc of the Capital Area was founded in 1949, parents of a child with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (I/DD) were often told their only option was to place their child in an institution. The Arc of the Capital Area was founded by parents of children with I/DD who knew that their children deserved the opportunity to remain in the community, attend public school, and access the resources and opportunities that were available to other children. Since then, our organization has worked toward a future in which people with I/DD have the same opportunities as others to pursue full and productive lives.The Arc of the Capital Area, a nonprofit organization, is committed to empowering Central Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through compassionate case management and innovative programs. The Arc of the Capital Area was formed in 1949 by a group of concerned parents trying to advocate for their children with disabilities. We are one of 31 local chapters of The Arc in Texas. The Arc is a national organization that promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day, and we’re proud to celebrate the women who shape our community every day! 💜

From the artists and participants in our programs to the staff, advocates, families, and supporters who stand beside them, women play a powerful role in building more inclusive communities.

We are especially grateful for the women with intellectual and developmental disabilities who inspire us with their creativity, leadership, resilience, and determination. The pictured painting, “Women’s Equality” by Arc Artist Lizzie, celebrates equality through bold colors and meaningful symbols — reflecting how their voices, talents, and contributions continue to make our community stronger.

Yesterday and every day, we celebrate the impact of women everywhere. ✨

This March, we're proud to recognize National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month — a time to celebrate, advocate, and commit to building communities where everyone belongs. 🧡

Our photo says it best: You Belong Here.

For the millions of people living with developmental disabilities, and the families, caregivers, and advocates who walk alongside them, belonging isn't just a feeling. It's access. It's opportunity. It's dignity.

This month, we encourage you to learn about developmental disabilities, amplify voices in the DD community, champion inclusive policies and practices, and reflect on how you can make your corner of the world more welcoming. Because inclusion doesn't happen by accident — it happens by choice. Let's choose it, every single day. 🙌

Share this post to help spread awareness. Together, we can build a world where everyone truly belongs!

We hope to see you there!

⭐ Gold Star Gala Spotlight: Davey ⭐

As we count down to this year’s Gold Star Gala, we’re proud to highlight the incredible participants across all of our programs — starting with Hutto Arc Artist, Davey!

Davey is a warm, friendly soul who fills our studio with laughter. He loves participating in every lesson he can, experimenting with new techniques, and bringing bold imagination to his work. Recently, he’s been exploring surrealism, creating bright, colorful depictions of animals that reflect his playful and evolving artistic style. 🎨

When he’s not in the studio, you can find him honing his bowling skills with friends — always growing, always connecting, always showing up with joy.

Spotlighting artists like Davey reminds us why this work matters. Programs like ours ensure individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have access to creative expression, community, skill-building, and the opportunity to live fulfilling, independent lives they deserve.
