Today our students at The Aurora School participated in music class with Daniel and Devin! These talented musicians had the whole school singing to John Denver’s Country Roads – very cool to see this music group in person and hear the excitement in our student’s voices as they sang along. During the pandemic, our students were used to music class being virtual. Can you tell they are excited to be back in person?

Anthony underwent a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and visits Ability Fitness Center regularly. He is doing an AMAZING job on our new elliptical! He also has extra support from the litegait machine! GO ANTHONY! 💪

Our Story

In 1967, parents of children with disabilities founded The Arc of Loudoun because they had a vision to help their family members live “a life like yours.” In December 2009, The Arc leased the Paxton Campus and, on this property, created a seven acre "safe-haven" for all people with disabilities and their families.

Today, The Arc of Loudoun, a local chapter of The Arc National, is home to five, integrated programs that serve the most vulnerable and underserved in Loudoun and the Greater DC Region—children and adults with disabilities, their families and caretakers, and the professionals who work to help them achieve their greatest potential. We are the only community-based non-profit working for people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities throughout their lifetimes. We encompass all ages and all spectrums from autism, ASD, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, intellectual disabilities, various other developmental disabilities, and neurophysical disabilities including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, effects from stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy.

The Arc of Loudoun serves more than 6,000 people with disabilities and their families each year through its five, integrated programs:

Open Door Learning Center equips preschool children ages 2-7 of all abilities with the social and developmental skills they need to thrive in mainstream kindergarten.
