Dear Friends,

The vision of Community Interactions (CI), founded in 1971, was to create a private, non-profit organization in Pennsylvania with autism and disability programs in less restrictive settings in a family environment. The reality of that dream was realized in 1973 when CI opened its first home in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Fast forward to today, with our ever-expanding programs, CI serves over 250 individuals in community living and day programs in the states of Delaware and Pennsylvania. We’ve come a long way; our future is bright, and we are ever growing and changing.

Our collective work with intellectual disabilities, autism and behavioral health challenges as a non-profit organization in Pennsylvania and Delaware begins with shared themes, including our commitment to providing quality services to those whom we are privileged to serve, recruiting and retaining a well-trained and happy workforce, while recognizing our most valuable resource—our staff—and their desire for growth.

The future of CI is guided by a vibrant strategic plan as well as an enhanced quality assurance and management process. While CI’s founding principles will not change, our methodologies and practices will adapt in order to stay ahead of the ever-changing landscape. I am confident that a bright future and our best years lie ahead of us. Together we will do great things!

How can you help us to further the unique mission of our non-profit autism and disability care organization in Delaware and Pennsylvania? As always, financial donations are welcome, but you can also support us by volunteering your time and talents and by spreading the good word about CI and the work that we do here to create the best possible lives for the individuals whom we support:
