St. Louis Arc

How to Get Community Integration Services

• Must be 19 years old or older with a diagnosed developmental disability and live in the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area.
• Most people complete a two-day free trial to determine if the program will be appropriate for them and if they want to participate. Following the trial, an evaluation meeting will be held between the participant, his or her family members, St. Louis Arc staff and the participant’s Department of Mental Health service coordinator.
• Funding is most often secured through the Department of Mental Health / St. Louis Regional Center’s Medicaid Waiver and POS accounts. Private Pay is also an option.
• If you would like to tour a program site and discuss opportunities for receiving services, please contact Megan Favazza, assistant director of Community Integration Services at 314-817-2219.
