AHRC New York City is an organization serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in New York City.[1] The initialism AHRC once stood for Association for the Help of Retarded Children. While the name is no longer used, the organization retained its four letters.[2]
AHRC New York City was founded in 1949[3] by Ann Greenberg and other parents of children with intellectual disabilities, who found the services available to their child inadequate.[4]
In 1954, AHRC New York City established the first sheltered workshop in the United States.[4]
