Who We Are
Empowering Choice, Upholding Rights, Transforming Lives.
We advocate for the constitutional right of people with disabilities to live in the community on their own terms and to choose the services they receive.
Mission
Vision
We aim to protect and improve the system of individual Self-Directed budgets in the New York State, as a key pathway to fostering integrated lives rooted in freedom of choice.
Goals
We work to make Self-Direction accessible to anyone who chooses it, assert the constitutionally protected rights of people with developmental disabilities to choose where and with whom they live, choose their services, and choose their goals, and put an end to policies that prevent the free exercise of choice.
