Supportive Programs & Organizations

Through our travels, we’ve been fortunate to work with many great organizations that provide incredible services and opportunities to those impacted by autism and other developmental disorders. As a new organization, we are proud to establish associations with many great groups, and look forward to continued relations in the years to come!

Center for Disability Services

The Center for Disability Services offers support and services to 37 counties across New York State and neighboring states. These services better the lives of many, and without the Center for Disability Services, a large population of individuals within the state of New York would not receive the necessary services.
