All parents want their children to succeed. Our mission - and our passion - is to help their families navigate "the system" to secure the needed resources that will help their children reach their fullest potential.  When families have knowledge, confidence, and skills, they improve our schools, our human and social services, and outcomes for all of our children.

Since 1983, RCSN has helped New Yorkers find the information and support they need to negotiate complex systems. When parents have high expectations and are equal partners with schools, professionals and service providers, young people with a wide range of disabilities can have futures of independence, contribution, and full participation.

RCSN is here, day in and day out, to support NYC's highest-needs families and the organizations that serve them.  We advocate on behalf of parents and caregivers, provide specialized training to help parents and professionals work together to achieve their children's goals, and sponsor events that help increase awareness in the community.
