We offer a variety of services, such as job seeking, community-based assessments, and in-classroom instruction, all aimed at promoting disability inclusion in the workforce.

Self-Advocacy – It is essential for individuals with disabilities to develop the skills necessary to communicate their needs, make informed decisions, take responsibility for their choices, and understand their rights to ensure their voices are heard. The Arc of Nevada offers training for people with disabilities to master the art of self-advocacy, enabling them to ask questions and express their needs in various settings, such as classrooms, workplaces, or when engaging with legislators.
