About Connection Spectrum
Our Mission
Our mission at Connection Spectrum is to create opportunities for meaningful connections through inclusive social activities and events. We proudly serve middle and high school students with IEPs or 504 plans, as well as young adults in transition programs ages 18-22.
We address the unique challenges individuals with disabilities face in building relationships and developing essential social skills. Recognizing gaps in support after leaving the school system, we strive to provide a supportive environment where participants can enhance their social skills, form meaningful relationships, and thrive both personally and professionally.
While our events are hosted in the western suburbs, we welcome participants from any location. We also encourage family members and guardians to participate and get involved, fostering a network of support and shared experiences.
At Connection Spectrum, we are committed to empowering individuals and their families to build connections, gain independence, and achieve fulfilling futures.
Our Purpose
We are dedicated to fostering inclusion and empowering individuals with disabilities to build strong relationships, develop meaningful networks, and create a sense of belonging within their communities. Our purpose is to bridge these gaps by providing opportunities, resources, and practical skills that empower individuals to strengthen their social and professional relationships. Through our commitment to inclusion, we aim to create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive, contribute, and build a fulfilling and connected life.
Our History
Established in 2024, Connection Spectrum was founded by educators who recognized the unique needs of students, families, and individuals with disabilities they have served for over two decades. Our mission is to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives, including building meaningful social relationships with peers in community-based settings.

SPOTLIGHT: Jack Kaehler
I enjoy hanging out with friends, making new ones, chocolate chip cookies, video games, movies, and tracking basketball and football. I dislike annoying people, insects, and cold weather. I'm working toward becoming a filmmaker, aiming to work on a film in Hollywood.
