Let's Start The 2025-26 School Year Off Strong!

In 1975, the same year the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was enacted to guarantee students with disabilities access to public education, Birch Family Services was founded to bring that promise to life.
This year, we are proud to celebrate 50 years of providing high-quality education and support to neurodiverse students across New York City.
At Birch Family Services, our schools empower children with autism and developmental disabilities to learn, grow, and thrive. We provide individualized education, therapies, and support to help each student reach their full potential.
