For over thirty years, the YAI Network has financed the International Conference on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
The yearly conference brings more than 3,000 professionals, disabled persons and family members together, to learn and collaborate on critical matters. Seminars and workshops focus on training and service quality, for the world's population of disabled citizens.
YAI's mission is to assist the disabled community in living the fullest life available, through the creation of new circumstances that enhance living, loving and working. Established in 1957, the organization has succeeded in enabling all involved. The Network employs over 5,000 workers and offers referral systems and information, specialized and primary healthcare, rehabilitation and mental health services, day services, trainings and placements, and residential assistance.
