Meet and Greet June 30th

Hello to all Pioneer Center family, guardians and friends,


I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Kim Nygaard and I am excited to be the new Director of Developmental Disabilities. I am a licensed clinical therapist (LCPC) and also an addictions specialist (CADC). I began working in the social service field by working with DD in special recreation. I worked for NWSRA for 4 years as program staff and then became Site Director for Day Camps for Moderate MR, autistic, and Severe/Profound population. I have also worked as a SASS (Screening, Assessment and Support Services) counselor for Lake County. I have also held multiple positions at Streamwood Behavioral Health Systems over 13 years, including therapist, clinical coordinator for DD/MI adolescent residential program, administrative coordinator and Chemical Dependency Director. I have also worked at Breaking Free, a not for profit outpatient substance abuse program based in Aurora as Program Director of Clinical Services. I have substantial experience working with multiple populations including children, adolescent and adult, as well as those with issues of mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance abuse.

I would like to invite all to a Meet and Greet on
