Bethpage, New York – The Board of Trustees of Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities, Inc. (ACLD) recently appointed David B. Lever to its Board. ACLD is one of the largest not-for-profit providers of support and services in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York, supporting children and adults with autism, intellectual and other developmental disabilities, and their families.
