About I&Y Health
I&Y Health: Your Bridge to Compassionate, Expert Support
I & Y Health is a New York City-based agency specializing in support services for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities. From our central office in Brooklyn, we proudly serve families and the professionals who support them across all five boroughs: Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
Our agency provides comprehensive guidance and coordination for two distinct populations. For children with developmental disabilities, we facilitate access to the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) system. Our team assists families with the entire Front Door process—from eligibility determinations to service coordination — and has deep expertise in supporting children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and other complex conditions.
In addition to pediatric services, we provide crucial support through the Nursing Home Transition and Diversion (NHTD) waiver program. This Medicaid-funded initiative helps adults with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities remain safely in their community, assisting with care planning, housing support, and other services that promote independence and quality of life.
Our approach is client-centered, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that every individual deserves access to the resources they need to thrive. We offer bilingual support and maintain strong relationships with community providers to ensure services are always delivered with sensitivity and professionalism.
