The NIH is also considering updating its mission statement to remove language that may be seen as ableistElizabeth Martin, CEO of Living Resources, states, “As a local care provider, we at Living Resources applaud this step by the NIH as an effort to find solutions nationwide.

Networking was the word of the day at the NY Special Needs Expo on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at the Marriott Albany! The purpose of this first annual event was to partner community members with disabilities and their caregivers with much-needed local resources. Living Resources was a proud sponsor of the event which drew in well over 700 attendees. The day included interactive panel discussions, 60 exhibitors showcasing their services in the exhibition room, a networking room for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers to connect with each other, and a quiet room for anyone needing a break from all the activity. Our CEO, Elizabeth Martin, participated in the first panel discussion of the day with Caralee Kardash, Director of Special Education of BOCES. Together they discussed strategies for creating an inclusive and independent life at home and in the workplace.Thanks to Mariah, Jennifer, and all involved in making the NY Special Needs Expo such an amazing success! Thanks to Angelo Santabarbara for sharing in the day and sharing some of your photos! ... See MoreSee Less
