Welcome To City Access New York

City Access New York promotes lifelong access to educational, vocational and cultural programs for New Yorkers of all abilities. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that identifies barriers to participation in schools and in the community and adapts the content and delivery of programs to the diverse needs of people with disabilities.

To celebrate National Direct Support Professional Recognition Week we would like to thank all of our DSP staff members for their hard work and dedication to the individuals they support. Job well done!

Our daughter Charlene has been with City Access day-hab for about 7 years. We are happy with the services it provides. It was a small program with fewer participants then and both the City Access and Charlene grew together. For the most part many of the services are tailored to individual needs. She enjoys the various activities and programs that involve interaction with her peers. Her verbal is limited so she is getting a session of speech therapy once a week. Her interaction with other individuals has improved. For example she uses more verbal to communicate and use complete sentences. As her parents we felt that this is one of her most critical needs. We do not know how many other participants is requiring speech therapy hence we have requested that Charlene would benefit even more with additional sessions. Providing additional days or another speech therapist would benefit all needing participants. City Access is all around well run day-hab with many interesting activities that has provided many of our needs. We feel it can benefit other families who are in search of a good day-hab for their love ones. Best Regards,

Roz.
