What they do
NIS is A NOT-FOR PROFIT SCHOOL THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1976 BY A COALITION of PARENTS, COMMUNITY PEOPLE and STAFF. THE SCHOOL WAS GRANTED AN ABSOLUTE CHARTER BY THE NEW YORK STATE REGENTS to PROVIDE EDUCATION and THERAPEUTIC SERVICES to CHILDREN FROM BIRTH to FIVE YEARS of AGE. NIS BELIEVES IN THE RIGHTS of ALL CHILDREN to GROW and LEARN IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, and THE RIGHTS of PARENTS to HAVE A REAL VOICE IN THEIR CHILDRENS EDUCATION. NIS is WILLING to TRY NEW APPROACHES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH OUR CHILD-CENTERED PHILOSOPHY. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE EACH CHILD, REGARDLESS of DISABILITY, ETHNIC BACKGROUND or SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS HAS THE RIGHT to DEVELOP to HIS/HER FULLEST POTENTIAL.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
