CANY SEPTEMBER 2025 NEWSLETTER
As we say goodbye to Summer, we’re happy to share some of
the special memories we’ve made. It’s been a season of fun, relationships, and
personal growth as we enjoyed our annual cruise and sunny days at the shore
and continued to develop our Community Based Prevocational program. And
there’s much to look forward to this Fall as we embrace sweater weather,
pumpkin flavored everything and new opportunities to grow together.

OPWDD Special ADA Edition – Celebrating 35 Years of Access & Advocacy
People First News, July 2025
Happy Birthday to the Americans with Disabilities Act!
It’s July and here in New York we have been celebrating Disability Pride all month long as well as the anniversary of the ADA – the landmark law that makes so much possible for so many. As we celebrate this 35th Anniversary, we’re reminded that the rights we fought for are precious and that our continued attention and advocacy is required to preserve and protect them. People with disabilities are people first and entitled to the same rights as people without disabilities. It’s a message we’ll never stop repeating. Thank you for your partnership and your continued advocacy.
