JCARC
was officially established as a not for profit organization on October 21, 1974. A group of concerned parents, caregivers,
and citizens recognized the need for an agency that would serve individuals with developmental disabilities. Since then
many changes and progress has been made.

with whom they live, learn and work by providing supports that recognizes the dignity and self worth of the individual while
