OVERVIEW
SCOPE serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to assure that each person experiences and participates as a valued member within the community. Our approach is centered around four basic aspects of daily life:
Domestic tasks such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning.
Recreation/Leisure activities such as movies, sports, and picnics.
Community access outings to parks, libraries, and restaurants.
Vocational activities such as recycling, computer lab, shredding, sorting, and packing
Why It Matters
SCOPE believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve a richer, more meaningful life and increase their learning and “normalization” potential when they actively participate in community activities that are common for everyone else.
SCOPE was designed when the focus of “community integration” for persons with developmental disabilities became the trend for transitions.
SCOPE will provide the supports that empower people with developmental disabilities to:
- Become employed or to perform meaningful volunteer work
- Recreate in integrated settings
- Develop domestic and community access skills to their highest potential.
Our Philosophy
We believe that all people, regardless of their individual challenges, ethnicity, or socioeconomic situation are to be equally valued and respected and have the right to meaningful work.

The Arc of the East Bay offers life skills education and employment services tailored to the needs and goals of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our clients set their own annual goals, often with input from their families. Dedicated Arc staffers – called Direct Service Providers – then work tirelessly to help clients achieve those personal goals.
