The Arc of Omaha offers a broad range of programs to accomplish its mission. Additionally, The Arc of Omaha is a resource for current information on disabilities and disability law.

Since the 1950s, The Arc of Omaha, (previously known as GOARC - the Greater Omaha Association for Retarded Citizens and The Ollie Webb Center), has been devoted to improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities. “GOARC” was originally formed by parents and interested professionals to address the problems of overcrowding and inhumane practices in institutions, and the lack of public education for people with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities.
