We’re halfway through Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month- a time to recognize the strengths, contributions, and voices of people with developmental disabilities.

It’s also a reminder that building truly inclusive communities takes ongoing commitment.

At AID, we’re proud to support individuals and families every day- because awareness is just the beginning. Real inclusion happens when communities come together to ensure people with developmental disabilities have the resources, respect, and opportunities they deserve. 💙

Group dinner at Wildwood continues to go strong! A few weeks ago, clients and staff took a crack at making a classic fast food meal, forgoing the drive-thru for community cooking! 👨🏻‍🍳👩🏽‍🍳 Mixing cubes of scrumptious Colby Jack cheese into their burgers and seasoning their fries- not just with salt-, they were able to create something both familiar AND out of the ordinary~🤤🍔🍟🥤

Team members Kristin Gilbertson, Alexandra Enriquez, and Lori Miller from our Behavioral Health program recently attended the College Career and Wellness Fair at West Aurora High School!

The event welcomed high school students and families in grades 9–12 from Kane, Kendall, DuPage, DeKalb and LaSalle counties, offering the opportunity to explore hundreds of colleges, gather information about career interests, and even find part-time or summer job opportunities.

We’re proud to support students and families as they plan for their futures and connect them with valuable behavioral health resources in the community. 🌟

👾🕹️Leveling Up Together!🎳🧸

Instead of taking his birthday off this year, Direct Support Professional Gavin Shearer brought his clients and coworkers along for the fun! At Elgin Lanes, the "Mark Avenue Guys" enjoyed countless rounds of games in the arcade, a competitive 8-player game of bowling, and delicious concession snacks. One of Gavin's long-time clients, RJ, even gave him a plush pickle he won out of the claw machine! Having everyone come together, Gavin says, made his birthday extra special this year. 🥳
