Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health changes lives – by unlocking and
nurturing human potential for people living with emotional, behavioral or cognitive differences.
In recognition of Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month in April, Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health is celebrating the differences of children, adolescents and adults with autism, and promoting inclusion for these individuals in all aspects of community life.
“People with autism want what everyone wants – to feel valued, accepted and understood,” said Devereux Executive Director of Autism Services Todd Harris, Ph.D. “At Devereux, we help youth and adults with autism explore their interests, build upon their strengths and form meaningful connections to achieve the highest possible quality of life. We believe each individual has limitless potential, and it is up to all of us to unlock it.”

The Devereux Center for Resilient Children has launched a new online learning course, titled “Building Your Bounce: Promoting Adult Resilience.” This self-paced course is designed to help teachers and other child-serving professionals who educate, and care for, young children (birth through preschool) discover ways to nurture their resilience and manage stress more effectively.
An article written by Devereux National Director of Family Engagement Amy Kelly, MBA, MNM, was recently featured in Autism Spectrum News. In the article – “Awareness and acceptance: 10 things I wish everyone understood about autism” – Kelly reflects on her family’s experiences over the past 20 years since her daughter, Annie, was diagnosed with autism. She also shares a few things she wishes everyone knew about autism and how to offer support.
Devereux recently hosted an intimate concert – “Sunday Jazz with Wynton Marsalis” – at the home of Devereux New York family member Merritt Lutz, who also serves on the Devereux New York City Advisory Board, to raise critical funds for the organization’s music therapy program.
