Devereux New York Cares

Devereux New York provides a wide range of educational, clinical, residential and community-based programs and services to children and adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional and behavioral differences, and dual diagnoses.  

As part of its continuum of care, the Devereux N.Y. Center for Autism Research and Education Services (CARES) – located in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. – provides year-round, full-day, intensive educational and behavioral interventions for students, ages five to 21, with ASD and other cognitive differences. Opened in 1996, Devereux N.Y. CARES serves nearly 50 students, and their families, living with autism. As one of the state’s most highly regarded programs for individuals with ASD, we provide an exceptional degree of attention, and offer many activities to foster students’ learning, independence and integration into the community.  

Our program is guided by the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis; educational goals/activities are customized to match each student’s unique strengths. Students receive a variety of educational, vocational and behavior intervention programs to support individual growth. We also provide expert consultation services to parents, teachers, school districts and other agencies.  

At Devereux N.Y. CARES, we strive to help our students and families lead positive, fulfilling lives in and outside of the classroom. Our goal is to cultivate a safe, nurturing atmosphere in which students, and their families, feel supported while working toward academic, social and vocational goals.
