It's been over 35 years since the Arizona Recreation Center for the Handicapped (ARCH) was founded. Because of unmet needs among individuals with handicapping conditions, there was never a question of motive or purpose when ARCH first opened its doors in 1975.
While our initial focus was to provide handicapped individuals with extensive opportunities to acquire socialization skills, ARCH has continued to refine and expand its services to meet the changing needs of the handicapped community. The unfailing application of a personal and compassionate approach to our clientele has enabled ARCH to retain its essential character through the years.
We are not only proud of the history and tradition of ARCH, but we are also pleased with the enormous strides thousand of handicapped participants have experienced while engaging in our programs and activities.
ARCH is more than a place. It is a philosophy of effectively responding to important human needs. It is a philosophy which recognizes members of the handicapped community as whole human beings with the same needs, desires and fears as everyone else.
ARCH is committed to providing services which enable handicapped individuals to obtain higher levels of function, pride, dignity and self-esteem. Our dedication to the special needs of those served will never waiver.
ARCH is the only facility of it's kind in the State of Arizona .
Sincerely,
Kip Murray
Executive Director
