What We Do
We serve hundreds of children and adults with Autism and other disabilities, along with their families throughout Chicago, by providing life-changing support to help them achieve their fullest potential and become as independent as possible.

Why we do it
For 50 years, we have helped people build academic and life skills that lead to independence, happiness, and a higher quality of life. For every person we support to achieve a goal, a family becomes stronger and our entire community is enriched.

How we do it
We offer a range of comprehensive services for adults and children with Autism and other disabilities. Our services include Adult residential, adult day training, home-based support, art exploration, Esperanza Therapeutic Day School, and Esperanza Learning Center.
