Our Mission
The Deutsch Institute has been serving the Northeast Region of Pennsylvania since 1979. We are dedicated to developing and expanding resources and opportunities in order to improve health and well being for persons with special needs. The Deutsch Institute makes use of existing resources and facilities as well as volunteer services to initiate pilot programs as well as cooperative community ventures with social service agencies.
The Deutsch Institute supports Office of Developmental Program’s mission, vision, values and quality framework, and adopts the self-determination initiatives of PA.
