Pathway to Work​

We are moms, aunts, and friends of some terrific young adults with developmental disabilities, like autism and Down syndrome, who are reaching an age where they leave the educational system and go out into the world. We are committed and we are motivated. We have created an organization in Tempe, AZ that prepares adults with developmental disabilities for integrated, competitive employment opportunities through the provision of individualized support, training, and resources

The Foundation works to prevent, control, and cure epilepsy through community services; public education; federal and local advocacy; and supporting research into new treatments and therapies.

The Arc of Tempe

For more than 50 years, The Arc of Tempe has worked toward creating greater inclusion and a sense belonging in the Tempe community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our community-based programs focus on four key pillars: recreation, volunteerism, and self-advocacy. We believe that every person deserves a seat at the table, and we strive to create a world that is more inclusive, more aware, and more accepting.
​
​​The IDD community, particularly adults whose networks may only include parents, legal guardians, and support staff, has historically been one of the most disenfranchised and overlooked groups in our society.

Down Syndrome Network​

Our mission at DSNetwork is to educate, support and advocate for those in our community touched by Down syndrome.
DSNetwork achieves this through an open, supportive and collaborative network that connects individuals and families with needed resources and information.
