Esperanza Community Services

At Esperanza Community Services, our mission is to empower people with developmental disabilities to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling, independent lives. We strive to achieve this through innovative education, effective advocacy, and compassionate support while fostering a supportive community where everyone can thrive.

For over 50 years, Esperanza Community Services has been providing life-changing support to hundreds of children and adults with Autism and other disabilities in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago, along with their families. Our mission is to help individuals achieve their fullest potential and become as independent as possible through a range of services, including adult residential, adult day training, home-based support, art exploration, Esperanza Therapeutic Day School, and Esperanza Learning Center.

Through our programs and services, we help people build academic and life skills that lead to independence, happiness, and a higher quality of life. Every time an individual achieves a goal, it strengthens their family and enriches our entire community. Join us in making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
