The Arc prioritizes the crucial role of family in a child’s life, and to reinforce this, its Children and Youth Department implements the Group Triple P Positive Parenting Program. This initiative, partially supported by The Children’s Trust, strives to enrich familial bonds and empower individuals to effectively nurture their children. Triple P’s objectives include bolstering parental skills and confidence, addressing anticipated social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in children, and discouraging punitive disciplinary measures. The Arc hosts multiple cycles of Group Triple P in Kendall, Miami Gardens and Florida City annually, providing opportunities for families to learn, share experiences, offer mutual support, and refine their parenting techniques collectively.

The Arc’s year-round Out-of-School Program, partially funded by The Children’s Trust, provides services for After school, Winter/Spring break, and Summer camp children, primarily with disabilities, in addition to typically developing role models, in North Miami, West Kendall, and Florida City. Wherever possible, families with siblings without disabilities will be included as role models, through Children’s Trust funded slots, private pay or alternate funding, so siblings can be served in one inclusive location.

With a fun and safe program focus for children, Out-of-School programming also comprises inclusive activities for literacy, fitness activities, social skills, family involvement, nutritional activities, multisensory environment room enhancement, creative arts, summer swimming and field trips following research based approved curricula.

The aim of outreach services is to provide physical, occupational and speech therapies within the community at a reasonable cost. We are able to provide Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy at all of our locations.
