County Considers Combining Office for the Physically Challenged with Senior Affairs Department

    Nassau County is proposing to merge the local Office for the Physically Challenged with the Department of Senior Citizen Affairs following the retirement of three staff members and Director Don Dreyer.

    The office provides parking permits to people with disabilities, performs advocacy work and assists the county in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessible accommodations. It now has three department employees and an attorney while the seniors department has 33 full-time staff members.
