Monica Rendon cares for her 35-year-old daughter, Erica, who has autism and needs care around the clock. Monica said she believes ADA should be expanded upon to better provide for those it serves in the community. The act pushed for the first funding of programs like the full-day program and workforce classes at The ARC of San Antonio. Erica goes there for hours every day.President and CEO of The ARC Mike Bennett said ADA has paved a way for generations of disabled persons, but the mission is far from over. The pandemic has stalled in-person programs, so Monica said Erica is now home all day.
