International Institute for the Brain

The International Academy for the Brain, iBRAIN-Academy, is the largest school-based program in the country serving non-verbal and non-ambulatory students with brain injuries or brain-based disorders. iBRAIN-Academy originally serviced students aged 5-21 in the New York City metropolitan area but has now expanded to service pre-school students as well. We have also expanded outside of the New York City area with its recent launch in Washington, DC, serving the MD-DC-VA metro area. 

iBRAIN is a comprehensive special education program focused on students with severe disabilities (non-verbal and non-ambulatory with about 1/3 requiring 1:1 nursing). iBRAIN’s mission is to research, develop and implement special education and related services for students with brain injuries and brain-based disorders (https://ibrainnyc.org/).  If you want to get a sense of the program activities at iBRAIN, you can see our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/ibrainnyc/?hl=en.
