Pride Month stands on a powerful legacy of courage, advocacy, commitment, and resilience, something the IDD community understands deeply. Pride reminds us that the journey toward equality, acceptance and inclusivity is far from over and that each of us has a responsibility to help shape a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

As we wrap up the week, let's not overlook some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

The I/DD community and their workforce deserve our advocacy and support.

It may be , but at ACLD, we focus on mental wellness year-round!

Imagine a place where you could go from deep within the jungle 🌴 to driving in the Indy 500 🚗, to exploring the deep blue sea 🐬...all of this and more are possible in ACLD's Immersive Rooms.

ACLD Immersive Rooms encourage the user to engage and explore the environment, having a positive impact on their ability to react and interact with the larger world around them. Sensory environments can be highly absorbing, providing a moment of comfort and calm helping users feel more engaged. This improves focus and prevents users from getting frustrated and seeking out less healthy means to vent frustrations. 💆🏻‍♂️

Through the support of grants and donors, we’ve been able to expand this offering to three day program locations: B.L.U.E. in Deer Park, Bethpage and Hauppauge.

I/DD providers continue to face detrimental staffing shortages and rising operating costs.

A full 4% TII in the final New York State budget would help greatly alleviate the burden on providers, staff, and the I/DD community.

We urge lawmakers to include the full 4% TII. Tell them here: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk

We may see a final New York State budget as soon as this week - meaning the time to act is now. A full 4% TII is imperative to stabilize I/DD services, support the workforce, and protect the progress providers have already made.

Please join us in reminding our legislators to keep the progress going: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk

The inclusion of a Targeted Inflationary Increase (TII) in the State Budget is not just a want, but a need‼️

The Executive Budget is close to completion and the TII is still on the table. We need your help 📢 to tell key lawmakers to include a 4% TII in the budget.
