Please Help Families on Long Island!

This school year 4 parents of kindergarten age children contacted the Long Island Advocacy Center because their children were kicked out of school.  Fortunately, LIAC was able to assist the parents in getting their children returned to school with appropriate services. 

This year 2 adults with developmental disabilities were removed from their home against their will.  Fortunately, LIAC was able to assist them in returning to a new home.
