The progress of individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities has always been tied to key federal and state legislation affirming their rights as citizens and creating new programs to address their unique needs. Federal legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act mark enormous strides forward.
In New York State legislation creating the first community residence program, a separate Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities and, recently, the Health Care Decisions Act for Persons with Mental Retardation are just some of the legislative accomplishments which have dramatically improved the lives of the people and families NYSARC, Inc. serves. |
