Building camaraderie and support for the special needs community through the performing arts.
The 2025-26 season is here!
This season, we will have four, in-person “Spotlight Sessions” at the El Camino YMCA in Mountain View, California: November 9, December 14, January 11, and February 8.
Who we serve
YDFA is an inclusive theater group open to both special and general education youth, and young adults that builds friendships and support among the actors, volunteers, parents, and special education community.
Volunteer with us in 2025-26
Do you love theatre and supporting the special needs community? We can tailor a role based on your interest: photography, dance, cueing actors, behind-the-scenes work, and more! High schoolers can earn community service hours. We'd love to have you join YDFA!
“I have nothing but compliments to Sue and Stacy and the rest of the parents and volunteers that carried the weight of the entire production for your love, attention to children, dedication and professionalism. Catalina has enjoyed all the rehearsals as much as the production. I have nothing but appreciation and recognition to both of you for your dedication.”
