This year is the 40th Anniversary of the ARC suing the Grafton State Hospital to end their mistreatment of patients in their care with disabilities. (In 1982, a United States District Court ruling in the case of the ARC of North Dakota, et al., vs. State of North Dakota, resulted in substantial, court-ordered changes to North Dakota's service system for people with developmental disabilities.) Today, the Arc of Bismarck is dedicated to improving community support and services, influencing public policy at all levels, providing education and training for advocates, self-advocates and parents, and achieving full inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life.
