<p><font size=4>The New York Institute for Special Education(NYISE) is
a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian educational facility which provides
</font><a href="program.htm"><font size=4><b>quality programs</b></font></a><font size=4>
for children who are blind or visually disabled, emotionally and learning
disabled and preschoolers who are developmentally delayed. </font></p>
<p><font size=4>The school was founded in 1831 as <b><i>The New York Institution
for the Blind</i></b> as one of the first schools in the United States
to provide an educational program for children who were blind or visually
impaired. Early in the twentieth century, the name was changed to <b><i>The
New York Institute for the Education of the Blind</i></b> to emphasize
the educational character of the school. A </font><a href="oritor.htm"><font size=4><b>pictorial
history</b></font></a><font size=4> of the school and a major collection
of disability links called the </font><a href="blind.htm"><font size=4><b>Blindness
Resource Center</b></font></a><font size=4> are available at this site.
</font></p>
<p><font size=4>Today, our </font><a href="scherm.htm"><font size=4><b>Schermerhorn
Program</b></font></a><font size=4> continues its rich tradition of
educating children who are blind or visually impaired. We have also
used this expertise to develop new programs to help children with other
disabilities. </font></p>
<p><font size=4>In the 1980's educators recognized the need to provide
programs designed specifically for students with learning and emotional
disabilities. In response to this need, the school established the </font><a href="vancleve.htm"><font size=4><b>Van
Cleve Program</b></font></a><font size=4> for those children who could
not be served in a traditional school setting. In 1986, the school's
name was changed to <b><i>The New York Institute for Special Education</i></b>
to better reflect this expanded focus and commitment to children with
a variety of disabilities. In 1987, a program for developmentally delayed
preschoolers was established called the </font><a href="readness.htm"><font size=4><b>Readiness
Program</b></font></a><font size=4>. .</font></p>
<p><font size=4>Nearly 300 students from ages 3 to 21 now attend NYISE.
The school offers the options of a day program or a five day residential
program. All <A HREF="students/"><B>students</B></A> return home on
weekends and holidays. An Individualized Education Program is developed
for each student. In addition, a full array of services is provided,
which include counseling, <A HREF="career/"><B>career guidance</B></A>,
occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language therapy,
individual and team sports and adaptive recreational activities. </font></p>
<p><font size=4>The New York Institute for Special Education is chartered
by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York for
and on behalf of the State Education Department, and is accredited by
the National Commission for the Accreditation of Special Education Services.
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Additionally, we have assumed a leadership role as a
recipient of the <b><a href="http://www.nybeacons.org/">Technology Literacy
Challenge Grant</a></b> which is a federally funded educational technology
program to promote the use and integration of technology for classroom
teaching, learning and information access. Our grant is designed to
assist educators of students with disabilities implement the New York
State's learning standards.</font></p>
<p><font size=4>Please </font><a href="mailform.htm"><font size=4><b>sign
our guestbook</b></font></a><font size=4> and let us send you additional
information about the school and about how you can help support our
programs. Our <A HREF="alumni/index.html"><B>Alumni Association</B></A>
