Education

At The Arc of Louisiana, we believe that every student deserves access to a high-quality, inclusive education that prepares them for life, work, and independence. We work to ensure that students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have the tools, supports, and opportunities they need to thrive in school and beyond.

From advocating for strong Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to supporting families through the IEP process, transition planning, and understanding their rights, our goal is to empower students, families, and educators. Through collaboration with state and local partners, we also help shape policies and practices that promote equity and success for all learners.
