Our commitment remains constant, strong and deep to provide therapeutic and educational services with love and the highest standard of expertise to all who come to NIS.

NIS is a not-for-profit organization, approved by the state of New York to provide therapeutic and educational services for both typically developing, and developmentally-delayed children, from birth to five years old, primarily in Suffolk County.

NIS was founded in 1976 by parents and professionals who believed in the rights of all children to grow and learn in a supportive environment, and the rights of parents to have a real voice in their children's education.

The name of our school was chosen to reflect our interdisciplinary approach to working with children and families. Every child and every family receives support from a team of professionals who together to look at all aspects of development: cognition, communication, social/emotional, sensory and motor. Each child's program is designed to reflect his or her individual needs.

Funding sources: New York State, Suffolk County, Friends of NIS, private contributions and grants.

Tuition and door-to-door transportation for children with disabilities is provided at no direct cost to parents.

NIS is an affiliate of Independent Group Home Living (IGHL).
