AABR Empowering People With Disabilities.

One of the best non-profit organizations that I found  around my neighborhood is ABBR Empowering People With disabilities, located in 1508 College Point Blvd, College Point, NY. Founded over 62 years ago by just a group of people that wanted to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. Working with 1,000 idividuals with disabilities across New  York City and Long Island this non-profit organization’s goal is to reach out people with any type of disability in their life and help them become part of their  family organization by offering them medical service coordinators 24/7, adult day programs, family services, therapist, food meals, Educational activities, fun activities including painting, photography, dance, and cooking. – Trips to museums, athletic events, movies, concerts, the theater, and more. ABBR has also founded the NYCLI “ Founded in 1994 as a non-public school for children with autism, NYCLI is now recognized as a preeminent school in New York State. A replica of the Princeton Child Development Institute, NYCLI has been well-documented to produce educational and treatment gains that enable many of our learners to acquire language, social and academic skills comparable to their peers.” The way that this non-profit organization raise money is by the government and donations from $50 and higher amounts through their online website  (https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/aabr) and sales they have at street fairs or food sales. Also the ABBR offers Internships for any person that would like to volunteer to their organization and Job opportunities for Social workers, Residential Managers, etc. This organization is doing a great job because people that are being helped by this organization seem very happy, they no longer feel alone, or unwanted.
