What I Wish People Knew About Living with IDD

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

Living with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability (IDD) doesn’t mean missing out. Melina wants people to know that individuals with IDD can have a safe home, meaningful jobs, and active, joyful lives in the community. At The Arc of Midland, we believe everyone deserves support and opportunities to thrive. From participating in programs to receiving advocacy in school or finding services, we’re here to help people live their best lives—together.
