Last week, a small group from The Arc Wayne attended the 38th Annual Developmental Disabilities Awareness Day Conference in Niagara Falls, an annual event hosted by DDAWNY which is the largest one of its kind in the United States.

Speaking on the event, Central Intake Coordinator Brooke Synyard said the event was, "...incredibly welcoming and inclusive, fostering meaningful self-advocacy connections and offering valuable resources through a vibrant vendor fair!"

ADVOCACY UPDATE: The NYS Budget is still not finalized, and it is absolutely crucial that we continue advocating for stable care systems in New York. We need the full Targeted Inflationary Increase of 4% to...
*Sustain essential services
*Support the workforce
*Ensure providers (like us) can meet the needs of the I/DD community.

We've made a lot of progress in the last year, but the fight isn't over. Tell the Governor and Legislature to support people with I/DD in the final budget here: https://arcny.quorum.us/campaign/153861/
