NYSARC is an affiliated member of Arc of the United States. ==History== In 1949, two Bronx mothers placed an advertisement in the New York Post with an interest in establishing a day nursery for their young children.〔http://www.nysarc.org/about-us/nysarc-about-us-history-mission-vision.asp〕 Over 200 New York City parents responded and banded together to fight for the recognition of their children's special needs and capabilities. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution for a new, single organization. NYSARC, Inc. was formally incorporated in February, 1949. In March of the same year, new committees were formed to address specific issues such as education, legal affairs, fundraising, and public relations. That same month, the Organization published the first issue of "Our Children's Voice" which later became "Our Voice Today." It was designed to communicate with other parents and families. The NYSARC, Inc. model has since served as a unique and effective organizational model that has been duplicated across the nation. In the years since its founding, the Organization has grown rapidly as a service provider and advocacy organization. The NYSARC Inc, partners with Camp Loyal Town, Advantage Care Diagnostic and Treatment Center, Brookville Center for Children's Services, the AHRC Foundation and Fay J. Linder Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NYSARC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
