The NYS Disability Rights Hall of Fame
was created to recognize lifelong contributions of people with disabilities whose enduring work has substantially taken place in New York State. This year, NYSILC will induct these 5 peers who have made a positive impact on people with disabilities throughout the state, country, and/or internationally.
|
The inductees' lifelong contributions support the concepts of consumer control, peer support, self-help, self-determination, equal access, and individual and systems advocacy to maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence, productivity, integration, and full inclusion of individuals with disabilities into the mainstream of American society.
