Resources for children

RESOURCES FOR CHILDREN

Since its start in 1948, Elim has served thousands of children with disabilities. Through Elim Christian School and its specialized autism programming (ACE), Elim provides educational, therapeutic, social, and vocational training for children with developmental disabilities.
 
Elim seeks to be a source of hope and a resource for families and educators as they travel the road of disability.

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Each day, approximately 275 children with disabilities travel to the Palos Heights campus of Elim Christian Services seeking the educational, therapeutic, vocational, and recreational services Elim Christian School offers. Approved by the Illinois State Board of Education, Elim Christian School offers diversified programs, including specialized autism programming, to students ages 3 to 21 who have developmental and/or physical disabilities.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES

Residential services in Elim’s Kamp Cottage are provided for children who are already enrolled in the program and at Elim Christian School. The school-residential partnership enhances and continues their education in a loving, home-like environment, even when they are not in the classroom.
