Birch Family Services' 50th Anniversary

Founded in 1975, Birch Family Services began as a single education program dedicated to ensuring children with developmental disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education. Over the years, Birch has expanded its impact through quality education, employment, residential, and other community programs to meet the needs of individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.

Today, Birch Family Services supports more than 2,000 individuals and their families through a network of programs in 35 locations across New York City.
