The mission of Board of Visitors is to provide effective oversight and advocacy for children & adults with mental and developmental disabilities who receive services from the State of New York.  Board of Visitors seeks to empower people with special needs.  We encourage children & adults with disabilities to carry out their statutory responsibilities through education, effective networking, collective advocacy and communication opportunities.

Protecting Disability Rights

Many children & adults with mental health disabilities experience a broad array of barriers to health care, employment, education, and other oversight . They are often also deprived of their basic rights to accessible housing and living independently. No matter what their needs are, we strive to be an organization that assists people with special needs to live a happy and secure life.
