For more than 40 years our programs have provided educational, residential, vocational, mental health, and community outreach for Deaf/Hard of Hearing adults with developmental delay and/or mental illness. We are one of the few organizations in the country who provide services to this population.
Starting in 2023, The Center On Deafness is now the Centerview Therapeutic Center (a division of the Center On Deafness)! We offer day programming for both hearing and deaf individuals in the Chicagoland area and suburbs.
Our mission is to serve all adults with mental illness or developmental disabilities.
