Our Vision
We work in partnership with the community to support and encourage people with disabilities to lead
the lives they choose. Our success will eventually be measured by how little we are needed.
We help people with developmental disabilities live the lives they choose.
At Avenues to Independence, we provide homes, jobs, and social opportunities to hundreds of adults with autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome and other physical, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities so they can live and work in the community with independence and dignity.

Help Avenues by contacting elected officials and candidates now!
To ensure that support for people with disabilities will continue, please click on the link below to contact U.S. Congress and Illinois Legislators. In a representative democracy, your input is needed to influence candidates and elected officials to work together and create real change that will benefit not only people with developmental disabilities at Avenues, but throughout our entire country. 2012 is an election year. Thanks in advance for doing your part!
