Chileda is a health and human services organization based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, operating an education and comprehensive residential treatment center. Its campus includes four duplexes and an education building housing the school and indoor recreational spaces, serving individuals aged 6-21 from across the United States. Youth in the program may be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, or other cognitive and behavioral challenges. In addition to on-site services, Chileda offers In-Home Support Services for residents in nearby communities and has opened an Adult Family Group Home in La Crosse County to support former students as they age. The organization emphasizes individualized plans guided by trained staff to help replace challenging behaviors so participants can return to the least restrictive environment, and a notable development in 2021 was the launch of a Snoezelen room to aid anxiety management for kids.
