What we do matters…..and our success starts with our employees
At Little Friends, we strive to be a premier agency with the goal of providing the best support and services to families and individuals with special challenges throughout the Chicago area, and this starts with our committed employees.
Our employees come together to make up our team to help our families and individuals to reach their fullest potentials to live, learn, work, and thrive in their communities.
We challenge ourselves and our employees every day to be innovators in the field by providing a place where employees can be creative and take leadership in the work they do.

During the month of September, we celebrated our Direct Support Professionals and the vital role they play in our agency. “When I think of the Little Friends Community and what makes it great, I can’t help but think of the many names and faces of DSPs in Residential and Adult Day Services,” said Liz Johnson, Little Friends Vice President of Human Resources. “A heartfelt thank you to all the DSPs that have touched the lives of those we serve as well as my own!”
Chief Operating Officer Nicole Fox shared, “Our DSPs are the pulse of our programs. I hope they realize without each and every one of them, we wouldn’t be the agency we are. ‘Thank you’ just doesn’t seem like enough. It’s truly an honor to work with our DSPs.”
At Little Friends we make a difference in the lives of those with autism and other developmental disabilities. DSP positions are available in our Adult Day Services and Residential Programs – Apply Today!
