Mission Commitment | History | People | Location | Credentials | News Releases

Chileda serves children and young adults, ages 6-21, from across the United States who have struggled to find success within other service and support models. Our program began in Steven’s Point, Wisconsin, in 1973. Since that time, Chileda has evolved into a nationally recognized and respected program for students with exceptional needs and exceptional potential.

Chileda is an accredited agency, maintaining the highest standards of accreditation through the Council on Quality and Leadership. Through the years, our staff has listened to students, parents, and other professionals to identify and implement evidence based strategies that show the most promise for unlocking student potential.

Our Motto
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL
We are committed to recognizing, unlocking, and celebrating the potential within each and every person who lives, learns, and works at Chileda.

Our Mission
To provide all children and young adults who receive our supports with the opportunity to develop skills in functional adaptive behaviors leading toward successful community involvement.

Our Vision
Through discovering and utilizing “cutting edge technology”, we will lead the development of programmatic and management processes to meet the needs of our students. Through development and implementation of a continuum of services, we will support growth, meet challenges, and celebrate successes in all living and learning environments. And as we continue to grow within our core competencies, we strive to share our living and learning resources with the larger community through education, collaboration, and consultation.

Our Philosophy
To support children and young adults with developmental disabilities to learn and apply functional living skills to transition successfully to less restrictive environments. All services provided by Chileda are delivered in a manner that respects the rights of all individuals within a caring and supportive environment. All education programs are individually designed by the individual student and professional staff to encourage independence and personal success. This is accomplished by coordinating all aspects of evaluation, planning and implementation of meaningful and functional activities.
