Five families got together and vowed to support, to educate, and to assist each other get through the tough times, the paperwork, the seemingly endless journey on the road to accessing help for their child.

On July 2nd,1998 these five families decided to open the doors to others to provide them with the information they had learned.  Within one year NYFAC grew to over 100 families. Currently NYFAC serves any family within New York that has a child with a developmental disability. Our doors are open to any family member, friend, professional, or student who wants to learn, to develop, and to grow.

Since its inception NYFAC, has developed and instituted a wide variety of programs and services. NYFAC is recognized as a leader world-wide in the development of training materials for professionals working with children diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

NYFACs motto and mission is simple  Helping Parents …Help their Children …One family at a time.
