Our approach

Orchard Village, founded in Skokie, Illinois in 1972, is a fully licensed nonprofit organization that annually provides support to nearly 300 individuals (all ages) with developmental disabilities in north and northwest Chicagoland. Our residential, vocational, home-based and transitional services are person-centered, addressing the needs and personal goals of those in our care. Our objective is to empower clients to live a fulfilling life in which each individual controls his or her own destiny.
