Members from Jawonio in Rockland were recognized in an on-field ceremony prior to yesterday’s New York Yankees game. Founded in 1947 by a group of families that believed their children with disabilities had the potential to live full and productive lives, Jawonio, an indigenous word for “Independence,” has become an essential resource for families in Rockland and Westchester Counties, providing care for children and adults with special needs.
