Overview

Racker supports people with disabilities and their families in New York's Tompkins, Cortland and Tioga counties, with a focus on learning, independence and community connections. Its programs span early childhood education, therapies and mental health care, alongside residential and community support for children and adults. Families using its self-directed services choose supports and staff around their own needs, while other programs coordinate care and assist with daily living. The nonprofit funds its work through program services, charitable gifts and investment income. Founded by families in 1948, Racker is headquartered in Ithaca, New York.
