Queens Council on DD

Our mission at the Council is to advise, inform, pioneer, identify needs and problems and to work toward their resolution.

Let's start dialing. Albany needs to hear from you.

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

The fight for a #StableCareSysem is ongoing, and we need YOUR voice!

Every call, email, or letter to legislators can make a real difference in ensuring people with I/DD get the support they deserve.

More than 7 million Americans have an intellectual or developmental disability. As #DisabilityPrideMonth comes to an end, we must remind ourselves that being an ally means supporting and uplifting your friends, family, and neighbors with I/DD not just this month, but every month.

When it comes to people with disabilities we are still a long way from equality in the job market. #NYC should be leading the way to further inclusion and equality. #disabilities #employment #NYC https://t.co/1FQpxlu28J

[Advocates for Children of New York @AFCNewYork]

Kids can't wait when they have a language delay, need physical therapy, or have trouble eating. NY needs to make sure providers are there when kids need them early in life. Raise Early Intervention reimbursement rates by 11% in this year's NYS budget.
