Welcome to our blog!


Avenues' clients celebrating at the Annual Dinner
Welcome to Avenues to Independence's Blog! We are a non-profit that serves adults with developmental disabilities in the Chicago area. We provide residential, vocational, job placement and home-based services to adults with physical, intellectual, and other developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, autism, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. It is our goal to provide work and living opportunities enabling those with disabilities to be as independent as possible.

We decided to start a blog to share our mission and our client's lives. Many of our clients face challenges every day and their positive attitudes and perseverance are inspirational. We hope to give you a look into their world to help improve your understanding of our clients lives and show their involvement in the community.

Our blog posts will be announced on our Facebook page so please click the link and see what’s new. You can look forward to posts written by our clients, videos from parties and events, clients sharing their knowledge and interests, and a lot more!

If you enjoy reading a post, please share it with your friends. We’d also love to hear your feedback in the comments section below each post. Thanks for visiting our blog and please come back often!
