NYSACRA is a catalyst and leading advocate for people who have developmental disabilities and organizations that support them.

The New York Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation, a statewide association of non-profit providers, is the result of the coming together of NYSACRA and NYSRA; both representing 40 years, respectively, of advancing the interests of provider organizations

We're advocating for a 3.4% Targeted Inflationary Increase (TII). But what does that mean?

A TII is an annual increase in state funding that helps service providers keep pace with rising costs, support their workforce, and maintain essential services for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

Investing in these services means investing in the people who rely on them.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN). Created from a lack of autistic voices in the national conversation about autism, the organization has since become one of the most influential self-advocacy organizations in the disability sector.

November acts as National Epilepsy Awareness Month, and this year’s theme focuses on Where Community Sparks Hope. Advocacy is not merely about understanding the condition, but also the person with it, and ensuring those with epilepsy are valued members of their respective communities.

Truly centering a person in IDD work means recognizing that the people we support have the same right to make choices, take chances, and learn through experience as anyone else. The next RCWT session challenges the instinct to overprotect and instead equips participants to balance safety with autonomy, because when we remove risk, we don’t just prevent harm we limit independence, confidence, and the opportunity to truly live.

This week marks the 36th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by President George H. W. Bush on October 30th, 1990 to ensure schools meet the needs of children with disabilities. With roots dating back to 1975, the current iteration replaces an existing law and puts more emphasis on the individual rather than the condition.

As we gear up for our annual FI/Self-Direction Conference today and tomorrow, we want to put some focus on a key facet of this work – person-centered thinking. By thinking less about the condition a person might have and more about the person themselves, such people have more positive control and fulfillment within their lives. Learn more about how we promote person-centered thinking here: https://nyalliance.org/NYAII_Person_Centered_Focus
