Resources for Children with Special Needs (RCSN) is New York City’s only independent nonprofit organization that works for families and children with all special needs, across all boroughs, to understand, navigate, and access the services needed to ensure that all children have the opportunity to develop their full potential.

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 to support New York City 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.

Do you have a child with developmental disabilities? Are you having difficulty getting appropriate educational services for your child, aged 5-21?
