The Manhattan Star Academy, a member of the YAI Network, provides Elementary Education for children 5-12 years of age with developmental disabilities and learning delays, including children on the autism spectrum. Our mission is to provide high-quality services to your children and their families in a comprehensive, developmentally based program which focuses on the whole child. Instructional activities integrate all the domains of child development, including physical development and health, and social/emotional development; communication, language, and literacy; cognition and knowledge of the world (math, science, social studies, the arts and technology). Our program strives to foster growth and development through a broad range of services within the program while utilizing community resources as appropriate.
