Top priority is given to your being safe and well.

We want you to have as normal an environment as possible to learn new skills and develop independence, and we also want to make certain you are safe while learning these new skills.

If for some reason you are missing from your home or day program, we will immediately try to locate you. We will call your family and/or guardian and tell them you are missing. We may also tell your doctor and the police.

We may tell the Illinois Department of Mental Health if you are living in a CILA home and cannot be located, and we may tell the Illinois Department of Public Health if you are living in an ICF/DD home and cannot be located.

We will let everyone know when you are found.

You will be trained on a regular basis on how to react to a fire, a tornado drill, bad weather, snow, or heat, or any number of other disasters or emergencies. You may receive first aid training, or be in a class to know what to do if there is an emergency.
