Welcome to ARC Projects
ARC has been working to promote Real Change in the field of Learning Disabilities since 1976. One of the ways in which we do this is through project work.
ARC’s Projects are spread across a variety of topics within learning disabilities. We regularly publish reports, newsletters and updates, these are uploaded to the individual project pages.
For ARC Members we regularly feature different projects and related information in each issue of the Members' Newsletter.
Many of our projects have their own websites, links to these are on the individual project pages. About ARC Projects
