Services

Supports and services provided by the Arc of GHN are individually designed. The concepts of Self Advocacy and Self Determination are essential to this process of customizing services. We start with a Needs & Dreams Assessment with the person with a disability at the center. With the individual at the center of the planning process, we focus on self development, making choices, taking leadership and achieving dreams.
