In an effort to augment services to the community, an Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Helpline was recently launched for those seeking information about services and support within the five-counties of the Archdiocese. The helpline is a result of a new collaboration between the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Office for Persons with Disabilities and the Deaf Apostolate, Catholic Social Services’ Developmental Programs Division, and the Archdiocesan Schools of Special Education of the Archdiocese to ensure those individuals with disabilities and their caregivers have access to the greatest number of resources available.
The helpline offers referrals to the range of services available through Archdiocesan programs as well as partner providers. This free helpline is accessible to the public at 484-472-5041.
