Envision Unlimited’s Community Day Programming is expanding our Adventures Unlimited program to meet the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who currently are not receiving DHS waiver services. Adventures Unlimited is a respite program offered to families in need of caregiver relief in the Chicago Metropolitan Area and beyond. Adventures Unlimited seeks to provide individuals and families with programming that more than meets their needs. Our programming addresses a wide range of interests and strengths, fosters self-esteem, builds confidence and brings out the adventurer in us all. This program is hoping to add one more team member. If rock wall climbing, indoor sky diving, an evening at the theater or an afternoon of goat yoga sound good…
