Dear Community Partners,

Thank you for visiting Community Service Options, Inc.’s (CSO) website.

Since our founding in 1989, CSO has stood as a steadfast cornerstone for individuals and families navigating the complexities of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Over nearly four decades of service, our core philosophy has remained absolute: every individual deserves a tailored, comprehensive network of support that champions their independence, respects their dignity, and secures their rightful place within our community.

Service coordination is more than an administrative function; it is a critical bridge to empowerment. The modern care landscape presents unique hurdles, but our highly specialized team of professionals work tirelessly to manage, optimize, and deliver the precise resources necessary for those we serve to thrive. Through our foundational partnership with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), we act as a trusted pathway to state-funded programs, ensuring families receive clear guidance, preadmission screening, eligibility determination, and ongoing care monitoring.

As we cross 37 years of uninterrupted community service, we look forward to strengthening our public partnerships, expanding our programmatic reach, and continuing to set the gold standard for dedicated service coordination.

We remain deeply grateful for the enduring trust of our families, the collaboration of our state and community partners, and the rigorous dedication of our staff and Board.
