About

Little Friends School Program’s suite of services for those with autism and other developmental delays extends from our youngest learners through transition students. Our expert team supports the development of sensory regulation and language as well as cognitive, behavioral, and social emotional skills through the use of structured programming and a multisensory approach to learning.  Krejci Academy and Mansion High School staff engage students and their families in developing self-regulation,  self-determination (defined as self-advocacy, empowerment and choice), and  independence such that each student’s functional and academic growth is evident.

Enrollment & Funding Process

Students must be placed in a Little Friends educational program by their home school district.  A student’s IEP team at their home district determines that a learning environment or services necessary for the student’s success cannot be provided will seek to place a student out of district or in a non-public special education school, per the guidelines of the Illinois State Board of Education.  The placing school district provides transportation to and from our Warrenville campus. School Districts can send referral packets for review to schoolreferrals@lilfriends.com.

Krejci means so much to Us
