Government Affairs and Public Policy Concerning People with Intellectual Disability and their Families

Welcome to HARC's Governmental Affairs web page. The intellectual disability movement began in the late 1940's with parent groups such as HARC leading major grassroots effort for civil rights and opportunities for their son's and daughters. HARC works with all branches of local, state and federal government.

Each year, HARC's Board of Directors, in conjunction with Government Affairs and Public Policy Committee, approves a set of governmental priorities that address issues important to HARC's people.
