Empowering People. Supporting New York. NYSID is a not-for-profit membership organization that creates jobs for New Yorkers with disabilities.

Established in 1975 and based in Albany, NYSID is a not-for-profit membership organization with a 40-year mission of "Advancing employment and other opportunities for individuals with disabilities." NYSID and its member agencies are a proven procurement solution for government agency customers. NYSID members are the employment resource centers for individuals with diverse abilities. Our member agencies also partner with private sector New York State businesses, including Minority and Woman-Owned Business and veterans’ support programs. Employment on a NYSID contract transforms lives and communities. • Individuals realize the financial security, self-worth and personal relationships that come with long-term employment, and a traditionally under-employed workforce is served. • NYSID’s member agencies are able to offer center-based or community employment, unique to individuals’ abilities and independence goals. • Government procurement needs are met affordably and with a proven track record. Preferred Source procurement satisfies the obligation to comply with New York State Finance Law Section 162's mandate to purchase approved goods and services provided by New Yorkers with disabilities. NYSID prices are approved by the New York State Office of General Services. New York State benefits by having a workforce which includes empowered individuals with disabilities, who bring stability to communities through wages earned and spent where they live.

“We need to get to a point where we can accommodate them using the strategies that we know work for people with autism. There was nothing I could do to help him, and he could not help himself in some of these situations.”

Together we can move forward — with inclusive minds
"But I feel more confident every day that we are on the right track by imagining—and building—the inclusive way. People with inclusive mindsets are all around us, and are ready to lead. Some are acting on the world's stage to try to heal our divisions and create a new birth of equality and peace. And some are in our schools, on our playgrounds, and in our cafeterias, 8 or 12 or 18 year olds, quietly making the biggest difference any one of us can make: welcoming the outcast, being a source of belonging for others, changing the eyes with which we see from fear to love. They are already stepping up and changing the world. It is time for the rest of us to follow them."
Tim Shriver, chairman of Special Olympics, explains in an opinion editorial how the organization's Unified Champion Schools program has worked to foster an "inclusive mindset" in teens.

“Jake has landed a job at UPS!!! He’s not driving a truck, but he is working up to 8 hours a day running packages to our doorsteps. He’s walking some 15,000 steps a day. He’s doing it with a smile. Yes, he's now 'Jake From UPS’.”
"All he ever wanted was a chance.
And if he was given that chance, they’d never forget him.
They said Jake Pratt of Vestavia Hills would never contribute.
They said he’d never make his high school football team.
They said he’d never graduate from high school.
They said he’d never get his driver’s permit.
They said he’d never graduate from college.
Jake Pratt has proven them all wrong, and now I have the pleasure of announcing some big news!
Jake has landed a job at UPS!!!
He’s not driving a truck, but he is working up to 8 hours a day running packages to our doorsteps.
He’s walking some 15,000 steps a day.
He’s doing it with a smile.
Yes, he's now 'Jake From UPS.'
Oh, and that’s in addition to Jake working maintenance at a golf course from 6-10 a.m. seven days a week.
That big backpack blower?
Piece of cake.
Yes, Jake Pratt is making his lunch the night before each workday.
Placing his clothes out.
Turning in early.
Ready to remind us he will not be forgotten.
All he ever wanted was a chance, and the UPS folks have given him a chance.
Now, this 21-year-old with Down syndrome is showing the world what people with special needs can accomplish with hard work.
This young man is helping to make our Christmas merrier.
My heart is full as my pride in Jake runs deep.
Please congratulate Jake, and if you see him on his route, give him a yell.
All he ever wanted was a chance.
And if he was given that chance, they’d never forget him.
I have to admit, 'Jake From UPS' is going to be tough to forget."

Join us for our first ever virtual Annual Meeting on Tuesday, October 20 at 3:00 p.m. for 2020 business highlights and recognition of honorees!

To register, go to www.nysid.org. #EmployedIncludedEssential #NDEAM #PowerofaPaycheck
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a time for recognizing thousands of individuals with disabilities working on NYSID’s contracts. Individuals with disabilities create a diverse talent pool that meets the procurement needs of NYS. We're especially proud of their efforts throughout the COVID-19 emergency to fulfill customer needs with essential services and products. As we celebrate #NDEAM, we can’t thank these individuals enough for their contributions toward a safer, stronger New York.
President George H.W. Bush called individuals with disabilities “a resource of untapped human potential” when he signed the ADA on July 26, 1990. This landmark legislation ensures equal access to education, housing, employment, breaking down barriers and building inclusive communities. NYSID recognizes the ADA’s ideals of dignity and independence that come from earning a paycheck. We are committed to putting the ADA into action along with our Member Agencies and Corporate Partners who work tirelessly to combat the unacceptable 67% unemployment rate of individuals with disabilities. Here is a message from NYSID’s President & CEO, Maureen O’Brien about the 30th anniversary of the ADA and the importance of the work done by organizations like Spectrum Designs Foundation.

It was a great day for NYSID Member Agencies. At the Procurement Council Meeting held in Albany, an application for Mail Fulfillment Services was voted on and passed with a vote of 17-0 and one abstention. As many of you know, the application for Mail Fulfillment Services had been in limbo for over two years. Many of you have reached out to the Procurement Council during this time to urge them to pass this modernized definition so that nearly 300 individuals with disabilities can continue to provide a valuable service to New York State, local government and SUNY customers. Our sincere thanks to those who expressed their support of the modernized definition to these decision makers. We would like to express our gratitude to the entire Procurement Council for their careful consideration of a definition that was complicated and nuanced, and gratefully acknowledge the Office of General Services and Empire State Development for their considerable work in modernizing a definition and making a recommendation in its favor. Thank you for your continued support of NYSID and the Preferred Source Program. #employability #inclusivehiring #pwd
