For those who missed the McHenry County Task Force Meeting last night, you missed the presentation by Robin Rhode from Life Skills Unlimited, INC. Life Skills Unlimited, Inc. is dedicated to teaching practical, functional life skills to individuals who want to develop a more independent lifestyle while living in the least restrictive environment possible. They specialize in assisting people with mild developmental and cognitive disabilities but anyone seeking an improved life situation can benefit from our services.
Quick Notes:
1. Programming takes place in the client's home and in the community.
2. Programming centered around individual plans and specific curriculum based on learning style is generated.
3. This program is private pay, think of it like paying a tutor.
For more information, check out their website.

NEW County Transportation! DID YOU REGISTER??

Please know this is an expansion of service, it is not replacing any current existing service. It is a pilot program between several cities, townships, and organizations in the County – and hopefully will expand in the future.
You will not be losing any current level of service. What this expansion does is enable transportation between cities – like Woodstock to McHenry – which Dial-A-Ride currently cannot offer. There is also an expansion on weekend and evening hours.
It simply gives more opportunities for everyone. Some FAQ’s
