The Viscardi Center
Our Work
Educating, Employing, and Empowering
People with disabilities remain underrepresented in schools, workplaces, and our communities. We aim to change that by leveling the playing field and equalizing access for all.
The Viscardi Center ignites opportunities for children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities. Our programs and services were developed to ensure individuals and their families can explore and reach their personal educational and employment goals at every stage of their lives.
In October 2023, we made a mission-driven strategic acquisition of Able Newspaper. Aligning with The Viscardi Center’s “3Es” (educate, employ, empower), the acquisition was an opportunity to enhance and expand upon our programs, services and advocacy. Now known as Able News, the media platform serves as a resource for amplifying perspectives of New York’s diverse, vibrant disability community.
