The Arc of Nevada (previously A Team NV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the state chapter of The Arc of the United States, the largest national community-based organization advocating for and with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our mission is to ensure that every Nevadan and family living with IDD has access to the information and support they need to live a full and inclusive life—at home, at school, at work, and in the community.
We serve all ages and support individuals with over 100 different diagnoses, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and other developmental disabilities. Our comprehensive programs focus on education, family support, grassroots advocacy, self-advocacy, and inclusion in the community. Through these initiatives, we fight for equal opportunities and improve the quality of life for Nevadans with IDD.

As one of more than 600 State and Local Chapters across the country, The Arc of Nevada is part of a national movement committed to advancing the civil and human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families.
With an understanding in navigating complex governmental and social systems, we stand strong against discrimination, abuse, educational barriers, guardianship issues, gaps in disability benefits, and shortcomings in residential care. Our services are inclusive of all diagnoses, ages, and backgrounds. We meet people where they are—adapting to unique needs, holding systems accountable, and working to ensure that every person with IDD in Nevada has access to the dignity, opportunity, and support they deserve.
