Mary Frawley was a day treatment program director at Saratoga ARC and a NYSADSP board member. She was sincerely dedicated to the best interest of individuals with developmental disabilities. In 1995 the Association developed a grant program in her memory titled the "Mary Frawley Memorial Grants" Every year since then, NYSADSP awards around $5,000 in grants to provider members who submit proposals that will be used to develop new creative programming ideas that exemplify quality programming and identifies best practices.  Mary Frawley Memorial Grant winners are asked to present at the annual Symposium to share these unique ideas so that other programs can also utilize these ideas in their own programs.
