Our Story
IAHD's mission is to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the Bronx and Westchester County, to create and build fulfilling lives based on their hopes, dreams and aspirations. We start by listening to each person, celebrating and respecting their unique qualities and strengths.
IAHD offers supports including Self-Direction, Day Habilitation, Pre-Vocational, Supportive Employment and Customized Work Opportunities, Residential Options, Community Habilitation, Respite and Family Support Programs. IAHD also offers Sunday and overnight respite programs to address parental need for supports for their members and themselves.
Our goal is to empower each person in their life's journey. We believe that each person brings a set of individual qualities to the table and given the right supports can maximize their potential. We believe in nurturing mutually respectful partnerships with families, communities, providers and professionals.
