AHRC New York City

Our Vision A socially just world where the power of difference is embraced, valued and celebrated. Our Mission Advocate for people who are neurodiverse to lead full and equitable lives. Equalism We're fiercely committed to achieving equity for people who are neurodiverse in New York City. At AHRC New York City we support more than 15,000 people annually under our guiding principle of Equalism. We uphold the highest standards in supporting people to lead full and equitable lives and are part of a social justice movement grounded in our common humanity. Our 5,000 staff are devoted to the highest levels of excellence and innovation in all aspects of their work to actively create a world where the power of difference is embraced, valued and celebrated. We're meeting our objectives by not only providing supports to people who are neurodiverse and their families, but by also calling for change in legislation and public policy, and advocating for better education, living arrangements, prospects for work and fuller lives in the community. We're an over 70-year-old family governed organization, among the very best champions for people who are neurodiverse in New York City and beyond. The number of neurodiverse people is great as are the inequities they face in a world that still perpetuates an "us and them" mentality. Now more than ever, we call upon government, corporations, foundations and the public to join us so we can effectively advocate and achieve Equalism.
