AHRC New York City

About

Each year, AHRC New York City touches the lives of over 15,000 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the five boroughs. The array of services offered by the organization is unsurpassed. The organization that created the first schools, workshops, day treatment programs and community residences, continues to meet the needs of its individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer individuals a wide range of programs, services and supports tailored to meet their specific needs. Today, with a membership comprised of thousands of individuals – primarily persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, friends and professionals in the field – AHRC New York City is one of the largest nonprofit organizations in the city.  It is governed by a Board of Directors, two-thirds of whom must be relatives of persons with developmental disabilities, working together with a staff of dedicated professionals.
