We have an ARC trust for my son. Melissa Justice was tremendous help when we put it together. Im very comfortable reaching out to them w questions. Reimbursements are handled quickly. We may have had a few lil bumps now and then but they are worked out and handled well. I feel that it is safe secure way to help manage my son's financial world. I highly recommend the Master Trust.

If I could give this place Zero stars I would. I met the Director (or so she claimed) of the Lafayette office. She told my wife and I if we ever needed help to call the number on the card she gave us. She said they are made readily available to parents with children on the Spectrum. Within a month after meeting her, I began calling. Leaving numerous voicemails begging for help. My son is my one and only child. Not only was a I new parent, I was very brand new to the world of Autism. I needed help with EVERYTHING. I was told by a different agency that in order to get the Medicaid Waiver, I had to get my son on SSI. I applied. Spent hours filling out applications and gathering all sorts of paperwork. Only to find out that I didn't need to apply for SSI. I called the Arc again, this time I left a voicemail in tears begging for someone, anyone to please call me back. He was diagnosed May 8th 2018, I filled out the SSI app and called them on May 11, 2018. I am still waiting for the call back. I even went to an event at the Columbia Park Zoo they had for Autism kids some months after I tried to call, and there was the same woman, with the same old speech, "we are here to help". I feel sorry for the kid she brings with her, forcing her to hand out information on a poorly ran organization. This place is a joke!! DO NOT COME HERE FOR HELP!!! If your child is younger than 3, go to First Steps!! The DT's and Coordinators are much more likely to help than anyone at this place. Find any place but The Arc. You will save yourself a lot of tears and frustration.
