Legislator Toback Thanks Don Dreyer For His Commitment to Physically Challenged

Nassau County Legislator Jeff Toback (D-Oceanside) thanked Don Dreyer, the executive director of the Nassau County Office for the Physically Challenged who is retiring. He presented Dreyer with a county citation at a recent session of the legislature.

Dreyer has committed 32 years of his life to advocating for people with disabilities and their families. Although he has suffered from brittle bone disease since birth and remains in a wheelchair, Dreyer affected policy changes in healthcare, government and business that will safeguard the rights of physically challenged individuals for generations to come.

“Don Dreyer is someone who has always been relentless in his efforts to help those who may not be able to help themselves,” Legislator Toback said. “He definitely made a difference during his 32 years as head of the county’s Office For the Physically Challenged. Physically disabled himself, it couldn’t have been easy to work as hard as he always did. The county is losing someone who will be hard to replace.”
