AHRC (organization)
AHRC is an organization serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in New York City and surrounding areas.[1]
History
AHRC was founded by Anne Greenberg and other parents of children with intellectual disabilities, who found the services available to their child inadequate.[2] AHRC stands for Association for the Help of Retarded Children. While the name is no longer used, the organization retained its acronym.[3]
In 1954, AHRC established the first sheltered workshop in the United States.[2]
