Sponsor Our History
When Ann Greenberg’s son Jerry was denied admission to public school, she placed a classified ad in The New York Post, seeking other parents in need of support for their children with disabilities.
A handful of parents responded. Then hundreds.
The organization they formed became The Arc New York, and has since evolved to become the largest provider of supports and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the state. In the 75 years since our founding, we have driven transformation and progress in the lives of people with disabilities, fought and ended the abuses of institutionalization, and developed a robust system of community support.
