I am...a student, friend, customer, voter, co-worker, neighbor, entrepreneur, spouse, athlete...a person. End the stigma about developmental disabilities. Look beyond my developmental disability. #LookBeyond

People with developmental disabilities are: students, friends, customers, voters, co-workers, neighbors, entrepreneurs, spouses, athletes...PEOPLE. End the stigma about developmental disabilities. Look beyond and see the person, not the disability. #LookBeyond

Welcome to our 74th Mental Health Month!
This year our theme is Look Around, Look Within, and we’re asking you to challenge yourself to look at the world around you and think about how the places you live, work, play, and gather impact your mental health.

@Governor Kathy Hochul please put an end to this crisis. NOW is the time to take action and invest in the I/DD service sector in this year’s budget. #IDDPriority #NYDA_DayOfAction

[CityAccessNY @CityAccessNY]

As Director of Programs at City Access New York, I am tired of having to tell New Yorkers with I/DD that they will no longer be able to attend the group programs they’ve always relied on to socialize with their peers because we don’t have the funding to continue running them.

[CityAccessNY @CityAccessNY]

I am tired of having to tell parents that we cannot match them with a direct support professional to help ensure their children are safe and cared for while they’re at work because we can’t recruit and retain staff.

[CityAccessNY @CityAccessNY]

Tell @Governor Kathy Hochul/@GovKathyHochul: How would an 8.5% COLA for non-profit I/DD provider agencies change daily life for you and your family? Comment or quote tweet and share your story! #IDDPriority #CareCantWait

[CityAccessNY @CityAccessNY]

DSP provide invaluable support and services to New Yorkers with I/DD and serve as integral pillars of our community. Help us tell @Governor Kathy Hochul/@GovKathyHochu about the incredible work they do every day!

[CityAccessNY @CityAccessNY]

New York’s I/DD community is facing a crisis. The time is NOW for @Governor Kathy Hochul/
@GovKathyHochul
to take action and include desperately-needed funding for the I/DD service sector in the SFY 2024 Executive Budget. #IDDPriority #CareCantWait
