Since 1974, the continued commitment of our organization has been to educate, motivate and encourage the intellectually and developmentally disabled community of Nassau County. The Arc Nassau has helped meet the needs of adults with disabilities by providing programs and services that support their active participation in all aspects of life.

The Arc Nassau is a local, nonprofit agency providing programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities who are 18 years and older. The Arc Nassau primarily services individuals with Downs Syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, spina bifida, Prader-Willi syndrome and varied mental challenges.

Maximizing an individual’s independence at home and in the community is The Arc Nassau’s fundamental focus. Our caring staff provide each individual’s support program to meet the needs and wishes of our program participants.

Life Skills Development

The Adult Developmental Training program includes a wide range of educational daily activities in partnership with The Arc Nassau’s Life & Job Skills Development, Community Inclusion, and Transportation programs.

Nassau Works

Nassau Works provides services to individuals with disabilities and other barriers for employment to obtain and maintain employment.

Respect of Florida

The Arc Nassau is proud to participate in the RESPECT of Florida program — a state-supported initiative that creates meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Through this partnership, we empower our participants to gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and earn a paycheck while producing high-quality products and services for government agencies and businesses across Florida. RESPECT of Florida not only promotes independence and skill development but also helps create a more inclusive and diverse workforce in our community.
