Legal and Advocacy Support for the Developmental Disabilities Community
At the intersection of law, policy, and advocacy, our work is dedicated to protecting the rights and improving the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Drawing on decades of legal practice, government relations expertise, and first-hand advocacy experience, we provide guidance and representation in a wide range of matters where disability rights and public policy meet.
Employment Rights & Workplace Discrimination
Individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities deserve not only access to employment but also a safe, respectful, and equitable workplace. Unfortunately, discrimination, harassment, and unfair treatment still occur—often from a lack of understanding of the law or willful disregard for it.
We represent individuals with disabilities who have been:
- Denied employment or advancement opportunities because of their diagnosis.
- Harassed, bullied, or subjected to a hostile work environment.
- Denied reasonable accommodations necessary for them to perform their job.
- Wrongfully terminated due to disability-related biases or misunderstandings.
Our approach blends legal action with advocacy. We use the protections afforded under federal and state law—including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Rehabilitation Act, and New York State Human Rights Law—to hold employers accountable. Where possible, we also engage directly with policymakers and agencies to push for systemic changes that make workplaces more inclusive and accessible.
Government Relations & Policy Advocacy
With years of experience navigating legislative and regulatory systems, we help families, organizations, and community leaders shape the policies that directly affect individuals with developmental disabilities. Whether it’s securing funding for essential programs, advancing legislation to protect rights, or addressing gaps in services, we know how to turn advocacy into tangible results.
Community & Organizational Support
We also work with nonprofits, service providers, and educational institutions to ensure they are operating in compliance with disability rights laws and are equipped to meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Our mission is simple: to give the special needs community the tools, protection, and representation it deserves—whether in the courtroom, the workplace, or the halls of government.
