Introduction to the Center on Deafness

We provide Vocational Services for adults.  This Department operates a Sheltered Workshop program and a Supported Employment program.  The goal of the Sheltered Workshop is to provide opportunities to be personally productive and, as a result, develop vocational skill and improved self esteem.  Several of our Workshop's "graduates" have secured outside employment in the community through our Supported Employment program.  For more information, please call (847)559-0110 Ext. 219.

Our Residential Department provides structured home-like environments for students in our school and for adults.  Our staff in the residences teaches independent living skills and social interaction skills.  Our residences are open 365 days annually.  The residential program for children and youth is closely coordinated with our Centerview Therapeutic School in order to provide services 24 hours daily.  Our residences for adults include a Supportive Living Arrangement for adults who are developmentally disabled and a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) for adults who are mentally ill.  Our residences are integrated into the community in apartment and townhouse settings.  For more information please call (847)559-0110 Ext. 219.
