Caregiver Support Services

We provide home- and community-based services (HCBS) designed to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, helping families navigate daily life and access the resources they need.

The Autism Program (TAP)

The Autism Program (TAP) supports individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families across Illinois through a coordinated network of providers, parents, and university programs. TAP offers a variety of services to help individuals thrive and families navigate care.

Home-Based Services (HBS)

Enjoy home-based services for children and adults who live at home with their families. We’ll pair you with a Case Manager who will get to know you and your loved one and develop a custom plan of care. Services we help to facilitate include, in-home support, community day and employment services, therapy, navigating the access payment system, or help obtaining adaptive equipment and home accessibility modifications.


You case manager will provide 3 service facilitation hours a month to monitor the effectiveness of your plan and make any necessary adjustments to keep your loved one on their path to independence.

Group Respite Program

Adults with I/DD who are not receiving any Home and Community Based Waiver funded services may be eligible for short-term care at one of our Community Day Program sites at no cost. This program is designed to empower your loved one on their journey to independence without interruption while you explore other options for long-term care or navigate changing circumstances.
