PCCS Roundtable
Sep 30 @ 1:00 pm

Join PCCS and Staten Island Performing Provider System on September 29th, 2021 at 1:00 PM as we meet with Language Access allies across New York State to discuss the barriers and obstacles in receiving services when English is not their first language. Panelists from the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities, New York State Office for New Americans, and the New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council will discuss the barriers in receiving services due to lack of language access and the resources available for families and agencies to ensure that language is not a barrier in receiving services! This roundtable will discuss the survey data collected by PCCS on language access in New York amongst agencies that provide services to people with disabilities.
