All Around IAHD: November 2025 December 1, 2025

⭐ IAHD is excited to report that two new IAHD representatives, Jeffrey and Nayquan, attended the Self-Advocacy Association of New York State (SANYS) Annual State-Wide Conference in Albany in early November. This was an incredible experience, and very exciting to have more people interested in joining the IAHD Self-Advocates. Huge thank you to IAHD staff members Kayla, Germaine, and Charron for collaborating to make this happen for these two men.   

🎨 Participants from IAHD’s Bainbridge and Day Hab Without Walls (DHWW) programs enjoyed thieir monthly visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In honor of Indigenous Peoples Month, they learned about art made by groups like the Inca, Aztec, and Taino and were able to immerse themselves further in their study of Indigenous art by creating small pinch pots using model magic clay and feathers.   

🎶 Long-time partner, the Concordia Conservatory, hosted a show from their UNIQUE series on November 8, 2025, at the Reformed Church in Bronxville, NY. The UNIQUE Series is a 30-minute interactive performance designed for neurodiverse individuals. The series offers a sensory-rich experience with music and visuals tailored to diverse preferences, creating an inclusive and engaging environment for all. IAHD residents and staff attended and enjoyed this interactive musical show focusing on how music can make you feel.
