Minute Man Arc for Human Services

Minute Man Arc for Human Services delivers comprehensive, lifelong care for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, and physical disabilities across Eastern Massachusetts. Founded in 1958 by a dedicated coalition of parents seeking community resources for their children, the organization has grown into a regional leader providing compassionate, specialized care across all stages of life.

The agency provides robust early intervention services, offering speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and developmental guidance for infants and toddlers in home and center-based environments. Experienced early childhood specialists work closely with parents to support critical developmental milestones. Adult services include innovative day habilitation and community-based day supports that foster life skills development, artistic expression, physical health, and civic engagement.

Through supported employment programs, participants receive vocational training, resume building, and job placement assistance with inclusive local businesses. Job coaches offer individualized on-site support to help workers maintain long-term career success. Minute Man Arc also operates accessible group residences and supportive living apartments that provide safe, enriching home environments with round-the-clock professional care.

Family support services offer educational advocacy, resource navigation, and inclusive recreation programs, including summer camps and athletic leagues. By providing comprehensive services, including specialized accommodations for individuals who are deaf or blind, the organization ensures every participant achieves independence, community belonging, and lasting personal growth.
