Welcome to the Resource Guide, a service
of The Arc of the Mid-Columbia for people living in Hood River, Wasco,
Sherman and Gilliam Counties. Please help us keep our Guide up-to-date,
accurate and complete. We would really appreciate hearing from you. Contact
the webmaster by clicking here
with information and suggestions for improvement.
We would like to recognize the Resource Guide for Children and Adults
with Developmental Disabilities Living in King County produced by
The Arc of King County in the state of Washington. With the Arc of King
County's knowledge we have loosely modeled our Resource Guide after theirs
(albeit ours is a wee bit smaller.) While their Resource Guide
is for King County residents, we highly recommend the Resource
Guide for Children and Adults with Developmental Disabilities Living in
King County to readers anywhere who are looking for on-line information
about developmental disability topics.
