Creating circles of support for people with developmental disabilities and their families.

Founded in 1981 by a visionary group of parents, educators and community leaders, Community Support Services was established on the premise that all individuals deserve an optimal chance to live with independence, self-esteem, and personal fulfillment. This fundamental belief continues to inspire our programs and services and motivate our many passionate staff members and volunteers. CSS has continued to grow strategically and compassionately, striving to better serve people with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families. Ours is a story of hope and optimism—a story that speaks of the human ability to create, to achieve, and to make a tangible and lasting difference in the lives of others. Mission Statement
Community Support Services, Inc., is a private, not-for-profit service agency that initiates, provides and promotes services for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families, within their communities, in order to strengthen their independence, self-esteem, and ability to participate in and contribute to community life. Service Principles
Persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities are people first and are respected as individuals. The needs, as identified by persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families, determine the services. Because these needs change over time, services need to be made available throughout the person’s life. Persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities, their families, and professionals work as partners to make the service delivery system more responsive to individual needs. Persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities are members of families, and this primary relationship is ongoing and needs to be supported. Persons with intellectual/developmental disabilities are entitled to live and participate in the community and to receive the same opportunities and protection as people without disabilities. Who We Serve
CSS provides support annually to over 700 children, adults and seniors with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families. We provide services in west suburban Cook County and eastern DuPage County.

On Thursday, October 8, we hosted a "Coffee with CSS" event at the CSS Academy in Brookfield, for program participants and local state legislators to come together to discuss issues that impact the IDD community. About 30 participants attended – many who are members of CSS’ Team Voice Advocacy group.

Senator Javier Cervantes spoke with those in attendance and noted his passion in supporting the IDD community and told of his advocacy work around increasing wages for Direct Support Professionals who are first-line workers for those with IDD . Senator Mike Porfirio was also in attendance to show his dedication to those served by CSS.
