Children In-Home
Support (Program 72D)
Created by the Illinois
Department of Human Services, AID’s Children
In-Home Support Program offers in-home support to
children with developmental disabilities in order
to prevent the child from being placed into more restrictive
care.
The program is unique in
that all services are individually customized to meet
the needs of each child and his or her family.
The program provides the family with
up to 15 hours of direct service and two and a half
hours of case management and advocacy each week. Services
are tailored to meet the needs of each individual
child and are provided in the home or other locations
in the child’s community to achieve the most
natural setting. A wide variety of options are available,
including (but not limited to) companionship, tutoring,
field trips, sports or other leisure opportunities.
Eligibility:
- The program serves children under
the age of 18 with developmental disabilities who
live at home and are at risk of being residentially
placed.
- Families must live in Kane or
Kendall counties. Services are available regardless
of age, race, religion, sex, or financial ability.
Staff:
- Case management services will
be provided by staff with extensive training and
experience working with individuals with developmental
disabilites.
- Direct service staff may be provided
by AID or you may choose your own provider.
