Legislator Scannell Thanks Don Dreyer For His Commitment to Advocacy for the Physically Challenged

Nassau County Legislator Joe Scannell (D-Baldwin) 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.

“It is difficult to think of anyone who has done more for the physically challenged in Nassau County than Don Dreyer,” Legislator Scannell said. “He always worked hard to make a difference in the lives of those that may not be able to help themselves. I’ve always admired him and wish him much happiness in his retirement. We will miss him.”
