Our goal is to help the individuals we serve become positive, productive and socially-connected members of their communities. These services are provided at the following locations:

• Red Hook Campus School, located in Dutchess County, N.Y. – offers services in both day and residential settings. 
• Devereux New York Center for Autism Research and Education Services (N.Y. CARES), located in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. – provides year-round, full-day, intensive educational and behavioral interventions for students. 

• Adult services: We offer a wide range of educational, clinical, residential and community-based programs and services for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, emotional and behavioral differences, and dual diagnoses. Our goal is to support the individuals we serve to become positive, productive and socially-connected members of their communities. 

• Self-advocacy: Speaking up for yourself, making your own decisions and impacting the direction of your life, are critical components to self-advocacy. Our student and adult self-advocacy groups help the individuals we serve feel empowered by their hard work and proud of their accomplishments.
