The Arc of Livingston-Wyoming hosted New York State Senator Patrick Gallivan on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. Senator Gallivan toured the Lehman Building in the Town of Groveland, headquarters of the agency's KidStart program, which meets the needs of more than 350 children annually, many with serious disabilities and delays.

KidStart, which offers Special Services, Day Care, and Head Start programs, serves children from 18 school districts and 7 counties.

Senator Gallivan represents the 59th District, which is comprised of portions of Erie County, the entirety of Wyoming County, the northern half of Livingston County, and the majority of Ontario County.
