Overview
Mission
A Mission Driven By Committed Leadership About Us In 1963, a group of parents came together, driven by the belief that their children with disabilities deserved more than just care—they deserved the chance to work, to contribute, and to lead lives of meaning within their communities. From this conviction came Access: Supports for Living. Today, alongside our affiliates—the Guidance Center of Westchester, Meaningful NY, and New York Families for Autistic Children—the Access: Network is one of the largest human services providers in the region, touching the lives of over 20,000 adults and children across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island.
