Community Awareness

New York Therapy believes community impact extends beyond simply serving the area’s children. Education and awareness are key to ensuring that our efforts can continue to grow and thrive in Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the five Boroughs of NYC.

We collaborate with local schools, daycares, hospitals, and libraries to ensure the broader community has the tools to be educated about disabilities, fostering a more inclusive world for everyone.

Additionally, we strive to create meaningful events and activities for the children we serve, promoting inclusion and helping them engage with their peers in a supportive and welcoming environment. Our annual holiday family photo event, sensory friendly trunk or treat, and end of year summer fun celebration are just some of the community experiences we offer.

Community Support

Advocacy

In recent years, we have collaborated with local government officials in Nassau and Suffolk Counties to advocate for legislation that increases provider rates in our area, ensuring that all children receive the services they need. This is just one example of how we actively support initiatives that strengthen and sustain our provider base. Our therapists and providers are as vital to us as the children we serve—without their dedication, our mission would not be possible.

Outreach/Training

We also provide outreach and training for parents of children with disabilities. It is important to us that we support not only the children we serve but their families as well. Our services aren’t around 24/7, but the children’s needs are. Therefore, the more parents know, the more they can support their kids.
