Young Adult Institute
Young Adult Institute (YAI) is dedicated to supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by providing a comprehensive range of services that promote opportunities for living, loving, working, and learning within their communities. The organization emphasizes a commitment to seeing beyond disability, fostering personal growth and independence through various programs, including educational, clinical, and employment support.
YAI's affiliate schools, Manhattan Star Academy and iHOPE, serve students from ages 3 to 21, focusing on communication technology and independent living skills. Additionally, YAI offers vital crisis and behavior support services, ensuring families receive the necessary interventions during challenging times while actively promoting inclusive practices within the community.
