“Advocacy is about freedom.”

–Chester Finn

We love our community

The New York City-Westchester Region of SANYS encompasses the 5 boroughs of NYC and Westchester County, making our region the most populous region within New York State! We are very special because our area includes the Willowbrook Campus, where Bernard Carabello first conceived the idea for a self-advocacy movement.
