Adults
Program Overview
Through life skills training, residential options and employment services, Aspire helps adults with disabilities to live full and meaningful lives. We work to discover strengths and interests, and then assist adults to realize their goals and dreams. Since our founding in 1960, family members have always been cherished partners in our work. Our team of dedicated staff is fueled by a desire to help participants reach a little farther and a little higher. We celebrate every milestone that an adult reaches, whether great or small.
- Life Skills Training engages adults in a variety of personalized programs, helping them achieve new levels of independence and self-esteem.
- Employment Options helps adults with varying abilities, vocational skills and workplace experience to imagine their dream job and succeed.
- Residential Choices provides an array of community-based housing options, assisting participants to live as independently as possible.
Aspire provides caring, award-winning services to more than 500 adults, age 18 and up, with developmental disabilities. For inquiries about our services for adults, please email Jenni Mayer, Social Services Administrator, or call 708.547.3560 x3571.
It wasn’t until Sally was 27 that her parents were told she needed to learn socialization skills and have some distance put between herself and her parents, her lone caretakers. The Schult family found Aspire. “We knew it was the best thing for all of us,” says Margaret, who along with her husband, is in her 80s. Sally was enrolled at Aspire on Eastern, our residential setting which provides 24-hour a day care for adults with disabilities.
