Welcome to GWARC
GWARC's mission is to serve people in the community with developmental disabilities and their families, utilizing a person-centered, whole life planning approach. We provide quality, flexible programs and services which maximize independence, foster inclusion and build community connections. GWARC's programs are based upon self-determination, sound teaching practices and the latest technology.
Our Community A private nonprofit organization founded in 1956 by a group of concerned parents, GWARC is uniquely sensitive to the level of personal support required for individuals to thrive. We have proven experience with the inclusion of all people into the community.
Special Thank You
GWARC would like to thank our recent supporters: o AstraZeneca Corporation, which made a generous donation for each GWARC newsletter reader who converted from our printed newsletter to our e-newsletter (we added over 200 e-newsletter subscribers, and now have over 800 in total). ο UPS, for coming to help consumers with our annual planting and landscape clean-up. The front of the building and the flower beds look great! ο Bank of America, who generously volunteered their time to paint the kitchen at our Chestnut Street building.
