We know many people within the disability community acutely feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our thoughts are with you all. The health and safety of those we serve, our community, and staff members is of utmost importance to us. Although The Arc of Texas staff is working remotely, we are still available by email or phone at 1-800-252-9729 or 512-454-6694.
The volume of information about COVID-19 is overwhelming and often confusing. We have compiled this list of trustworthy resources to help you during this time.
You are not alone. We will get through this together.
