About Us

The Arc of Walker County is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization.  Incorporated over 45 years ago, we have grown to include programs for adults and children.  From birth to end-of-life, the Arc of Walker County strives to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities overcome any obstacles that might prevent them from achieving their goals and dreams.

Joanna Brand, President & CEO, is always willing to discuss the needs  of, and challenges faced by, people with IDD.  All employees are trained to meet and/or exceed State of Alabama Department of Mental Health standards.

Our facility is located at 745 Russell Dairy Road in Jasper, Alabama.  You may contact us Monday-Friday, 8:00-4:00 CST at 205-387-0562.  We are happy to schedule a visit for those who are interested in our work.
