Our mission: We empower people with autism and disabilities to live their best lives, every day, by partnering with their families, our employees, and our community.

The Arc Lexington provides services and supports in Fulton, Albany, and Schoharie Counties to approximately 1,300 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, mental illness, cerebral palsy, physical disabilities, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injuries. Lexington's person-first approach puts the emphasis on each person's needs, wants, and desires rather than their disability. From how we structure program activities to the language we use at our agency, we are committed to fostering an environment where the people we support are not only respected and valued, but also play an integral role in Lexington's day-to-day operations. Lexington continues to expand and diversify while remaining deeply committed to our core values and mission of excellence – making Lexington a great place for people with disabilities and for our employees. Our programs and services include residential, day habilitation, community supports, autism support services, Article 16 Clinic, employment supports, guardianship, and supports for people with traumatic brain injuries.  Also, a program of Lexington is Transitions, supporting teens and young adults with autism and other learning differences with college, career, and independent life.  The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts is a year-round community arts center for people of all ages and abilities that is also part of Lexington’s programming.  Flame is Lexington’s world-renowned rock band comprised of seven talented musicians who happen to have disabilities.  Lexington also has two fundraising entities, the Legacy of Love (Schoharie County) and the Lexington Foundation.
