Making A Difference...
Because of You Imagine your life changing in the blink of an eye. You are no longer able to speak. You can't pick up a spoon to feed yourself or kiss your child goodnight.
That's what happened to Dan when he w as hit by a drunk driver in college. He lost all his motor skills, including his ability to speak. Thanks to the assistance from The Arc, a speech therapist is teaching Dan to "blink" his words. He can now communicate with his friends and family.
Without your help, thousands of Central Texans wouldn't receive the critical care and companionship advocated by The Arc. Please help us to continue to make a difference.
