To learn more, please visit www.launchcny.org LAUNCH, formerly known as the Learning Disabilities Association of Central New York (LDACNY), has been serving the Greater Syracuse community since 1985. In 2017, we became LAUNCH because we wanted people to know we focus on abilities, not disabilities. We also felt that our previous mission statement and brand name didn’t align with what we actually do. We serve much more than people who have learning disabilities. We have not changed our staff or our services. Our current programs and services are below:
