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 YAIs 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

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. http://www.yai.org/
