Our Impact

"I am so grateful for the care and support shown to Tom by all the IAHD staff at both the program and his residence, Croton House. It is very clear that they have a genuine love for him and are working hard to make sure Tom is happy and healthy."

"Dynamic Arts Gallery is an inclusive hub, dedicated to servicing the needs of all who seek expression through creativity. Through nurturing confidence and personal growth, the Art program at IAHD is committed to providing projects that encourage independence by promoting self-expression."

"My son has been at IAHD for almost 2 years now. He has adjusted to his new routine there great. I love watching his growing independence! It doesn’t matter who the individual is, the staff doesn’t look out for only the individuals in their own classrooms, but for all individuals.”

"I have been a part of IAHD family for 7 years. I came on board as an Assistant Resident Manager at Anne Arcuri, then moved on to Day Hab as an Assistant Program Administrator for DHWW and since I have been promoted to and is currently the Program Administrator for St. Mary’s and DHWW. I truly enjoy being able to support our individuals and their families. Interacting with our individuals and seeing smiles on their faces daily is priceless. I am also grateful to work amongst great staff who I look up to and support as well."

"It’s been amazing to work with the individuals at IAHD. They are very engaging and decisive with their color choices. Many have participated in making products such as pillows, handbags, hats and wall hangings – making the work tangible. Everyone participating with weaving is very proud of their work."

"I am proud to say that I am the Program Administrator for the Bainbridge and Southern Boulevard Day Habilitation programs. I have worked for IAHD for over 12 years in varying roles ranging from Driver to Compliance Specialist to Program Administrator. "

"The Day Program at IAHD had positively impacted Irina's life. I see her happy and animated while I visit the place. She loves the people working in the program and her classmates. Irina is an enthusiastic and people-oriented young lady. She has everything she needs in the program."

"Our collaboration with IAHD has been a wonderful experience. The weavers who come to the Weaving Center from IAHD are creative and decisive in the artistic choices they make. The results are often unexpected and incredibly beautiful. We learn from them, as well. We admire and appreciate the innate creativity we see in them and have learned to trust their choices. It has been a pleasure working with the IAHD weavers and look forward to our continued collaboration."
