Established in 1951 with the objective of assisting San Diego area children with developmental disabilities, the Association broadened its scope in 1970 to promote the welfare of disabled adult residents, as well. The ARC is principally concerned with establishing facilities in the public education system devoted to the teaching and training of the developmentally disabled.
