Please contact Program Director Amanda Duffy at (610) 688-8597 or email: email. “The
CAAPP (Community Adult Autism Partnership Program) has really positively affected
my life in so many ways. They've helped
me to stay calm during times of distress and focus on what needs to be
done. I've also been able to gain a lot
more independence in multiple areas including (but not limited to) transportation,
working, budgeting, cooking and other life skills. My favorite way that they have positively
impacted my life, though, is by taking some of the work load off of my parents.” Residential ProgramsOur Community Homes and Apartments are located in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties and are home to Pennsylvanians as well as people from other regions.

RespiteRespite care is designed to provide short-term, temporary care to family members caring for their loved one so that they can have a break from their responsibilities. Respite stays can be a few days or several months depending on the needs of the family and can either be provided in the individual’s home or another setting. While this form of care is often planned in advance, it is also available in crisis or emergency situations. Devereux can provide respite in your home or in one of our community homes, depending on availability. Please contact Admissions at (610) 251-2017 or email dsulli@devereux.org.
