The Arc Westchester Awareness & Engagement Survey Two thousand individuals with developmental disabilities rely on support from The Arc Westchester (“the Chapter”) every day. As the largest independent provider of services in Westchester County, the Chapter relies heavily on The Arc Westchester Foundation to help fund the continuum of innovative programs and services it delivers starting at birth and continuing through end of life.Did you know? New York State only funds 40% of educational services for children with developmental disabilities. New York State is NOT responsible for providing critical transition services for children after age 21, when they age out of services with their public school district. Shrinking government budgets and a growing need for our services continue to challenge us to the core. Your generous gifts continue to make a life-changing impact on our individuals, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the family. We hope that you will take a few minutes to share your feedback with us as we work to increase visibility of both the Chapter and Foundation throughout Westchester County. Question Title * 1.
