Childbridge residential services
Welcome! We're delighted to tell you a little bit about our ChildBridge Center for Group-Home Living – a therapeutic community fostering independence, growth and learning.
In this Center, we provide first-class, therapeutic programs and services for children with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities including 24/7 residential, clinical care.
We serve girls and boys, young ladies and young gentlemen, between the ages of seven to 22 years old. Come take a tour of our group homes in our therapeutic community and you'll discover that serving children is a privilege for us; we care for these children as if they are our own.
We believe that a child’s earliest years are the most formative – and possibly the most memorable. We understand the needs of these special children and we do everything we can to help make their childhood the foundation for a meaningful, productive and dignified adulthood.
Everybody needs a stable and loving environment – a place to call home. Children with intellectual and developmental challenges are just like anyone else.
Programs
Our ChildBridge Center for Group-Home Living offers a multitude of services and programs. From residential services and educational opportunities to recreational activities and the Arts, our youngsters are provided with a full range of options empowering them develop in all facets of their life as they bridge to adulthood.
Residential Services
Located in Palatine and serving metropolitan Chicago, our residential services provide a home for more than 50 children and young adults, the majority (80 percent) of whom have autism.
Our Center for Group-Home Living provides the folllowing:
- Specialized behavioral assessment and intervention
- Interdiscipilinary assessment and intervention to children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Programming and intervention to address social-emotional needs
- Intervention provided to the indvidual, group or family based on each child's unique needs
The children who live at Little City reside in five homes located on the Palatine campus.
Due to a need of full-time, clinincal care or as wards of the state due to abandonment, abuse or neglect from their natural guardians, the compassionate and dedicated staff of Little City strive to provide each child and young adult with a rich, healthy and rewarding life. The program is partially funded by the Department of Children and Family Services of Illinois (DCFS).
