Our mission regarding the education of children with autism. HOPE services for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 3-21 are funded by the New York State Education Department and, in New York City, operate with the approval of and under the oversight of the New York City Department of Education.
Devoted to supporting and engaging the autism community, The YAI Autism Center offers a range of services for people with autism spectrum disorder and their families.
The Brooklyn Autism Center is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) school serving children with special needs. Our program is founded by parents, educators, and community activists determined to provide high quality, effective educational services for children that need 1:1 support. Our Philosophy is grounded in data-based scientific research, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the educational standard and best practice for children on the Autism Spectrum.
Since 1998 we have been motivating and inspiring individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder — and their families — to live life to the fullest. Today we have over 150 employees and provide over 20 different programs to the families we serve. Each year we increase our numbers. In 2013 we provided nearly 30,000 unique visits to our families. Whether it is in their home, in their school, in their community, or at one of our facilities, NYFAC will always be there.
