In 2003, PRFI developed a new program called the Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) program. Coupled with the ICFs, this program provides quality person-centered service to meet the daily needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.

​

​Through the ICFs and IRA programs, PRFI has provided the much-needed rehabilitative residential services to our clients. Our facilities deliver proficient and empathic 24-hour care, making PFRI’s residential programming one of the best managed operations in the tri-state NYC area for this population.

​

 ICF and IRA Program highlights include:

​

• Adaptive skills training

• Self-care skills training

• Physical fitness

• Domestic skills building

• Arts and crafts

• Work and relationship skills-building

​

These programs are located in the Bronx and are funded though New York City’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
