Our Mission
NYC FAIR strives to stay on top of the service delivery system that affects our loved ones – bringing information to families about services and supports as the system undergoes a transition.
NYC FAIR has joined with other family groups throughout New York to form SWAN -NY, a State Wide Advocacy Network to advocate for a family voice in policy making. After all, who knows more about the effect policy has on the lives of our loved ones. This advocacy is an ongoing effort to have a seat at the table.
Currently SWAN is composed of, in addition to NYC FAIR, DDAWNY (Developmental Disability Association of Western New York Family Committee), ENYDDA (Eastern New York Developmental Disability Association – Capitol region) and LIANDD (Long Island Advocacy Network for Developmental Disabilities – Nassau and Suffolk)
