NYSARC, Inc., is a voluntary organization of fifty-five chapters consisting of parents, friends and volunteers serving thousands of New York residents with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The Association currently has over 71,000 members located in almost every county, community and developmental center. NYSARC, Inc., through our chapters, employs 26,000 individuals and is able to provide direct services to over 60,000 people daily. We are the largest organization of its kind in the nation.

NYSARC, Inc., maintains a strong centralized presence in order to advocate on important statewide issues of concern for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities throughout New York State.

From our headquarters, located on the outskirts of the State’s capital, NYSARC, Inc., works closely with the legislature, the Governor’s Office, State agency personnel and other advocacy organizations on important areas of concern. This has become increasingly important as state deinstitutionalization policies have led to a mass exodus of people from institutional facilities to community based programs; a transition that has raised concern about the quality of life accorded to persons with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to unprecedented levels.

NYSARC, Inc., continues to take pride in the leadership we have demonstrated in fostering a universal commitment to the dignity of people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Throughout NYSARC, Inc., the chapters employ highly professional staff dedicated to the vision and mission of the Association. The State Office of NYSARC, Inc. located in Delmar, NY, employs a staff of professionals who are available to assist you with any questions or needs you may have concerning our organization, the field, or individual needs.

We encourage e-mails, correspondence, faxes or phone calls and pledge our immediate attention so as to give you a prompt response. We are here to assist you and your family’s needs and welcome the opportunity for you to avail yourself of the many talented and dedicated individuals who make up NYSARC, Inc.
