AFDN

AFDN is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit community-based organization in New York City. This organization was formed in spring 2016 by families caring for people with developmental disabilities. We come together because we share the same experiences and have common understanding for caring family members with special needs. We help each other; we support and care for each other. We want our voices heard in the community. We advocate to eliminate social stigma against people and families having developmental and special needs... AFDN helps families with members having developmental and special needs to receive assistance and support. We dedicate to do productive work to improve the condition of these families... AFDN connects over 400 parents having children with developmental service needs.
