-YAI was launched in February of 1957 out of a small school in
Brooklyn, New York. Initially staffed by Co-Founders Bert MacLeech
and Pearl Maze MacLeech alone, their pilot program served just
seven people. According to Bert, from its very beginning YAI has
been dedicated to providing innovative services for the I/DD
(intellectual and/or developmental disabilities) community.
MacLeech envisioned a, "total life adjustment approach, emphasizing
personal growth, social responsibility, employment goals, and the
development of independence for the individual." At a time when
institutional living was the norm for people with I/DD, this vision
was nothing short of revolutionary.YAI Today: -Today, YAI has a
team of over 4,000 employees and supports over 20,000 people in the
I/DD community. This extraordinary growth shows the ongoing need
for these important services, and YAI's success in offering them.
YAI supports people with autism, Down syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy,
among others. Operating throughout Downstate New York and Northern
New Jersey, YAI now offers more than 300 programs for people of all
ages. -Better Together: -At YAI, we are driven by our mission of
living, loving, working, and learning. This applies not only to the
people we support, but to our staff as well. Commitment and passion
for the work continue to unite employees and drive the organization
forward. Empowering the people we support to reach their goals
remains at the heart of our organization. -
