Three elementary districts, one high school
About 24,500 people live in Homer Glen, mostly in Will County with a small portion reaching into Cook. Three elementary districts divide the village between them and none of them carries a child past eighth grade: Homer School District 33C, Will County School District 92, and New Lenox School District 122. From there the picture converges. The Village states that Lockport Township High School serves all of Homer Township, so every public elementary district here feeds Lockport Township High School District 205, with freshmen at the Central Campus and grades ten through twelve at the East Campus. Homer Glen students do not attend Lincoln-Way, whatever the neighboring towns may suggest.
Converging is not the same as continuous. Three separate elementary systems mean three different sets of practices around evaluations, service minutes, and staffing, all of which have to be reconciled at a single large high school. Parents arriving at that meeting benefit from having someone who can describe the child's actual daily functioning rather than a summary from a file. That is the work described on our IEP and school collaboration page.
What in-home work looks like here
Homer Glen households tend to have space — larger lots, longer driveways, more door to watch. Safety at the perimeter, moving between a big yard and a quiet indoors, and filling unstructured stretches of a weekend are the kinds of goals that only make sense when a clinician has seen the property. We work in the rooms and on the ground your child uses every day.
For practice beyond the front step, Heritage Park behind Village Hall has a challenge course, a nature play area, and free 18-hole disc golf. The Homer Glen Heroes Trail gives a predictable route for walking. Stone Manor, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, anchors the village's older history. The Homer Township Public Library, established in 1982 and located in Homer Glen, serves the whole township and makes a good first indoor destination when a child is ready for one.
How we practice
We work exclusively in family homes, the practice is BCBA-owned, there is no waiting list, and you decide who works with your child.

Questions from Homer Glen parents
Do Homer Glen students attend Lincoln-Way high schools?
No, and this is a common local mix-up. The Village states that Lockport Township High School serves all of Homer Township, so every Homer Glen public elementary district feeds Lockport Township High School District 205. Freshmen attend the Central Campus and grades ten through twelve attend the East Campus.
Which elementary districts serve Homer Glen?
Three, all of them ending at eighth grade: Homer School District 33C, Will County School District 92, and New Lenox School District 122. Which one covers your family depends on your address, and all three lead to the same high school district.
Homer Glen has no park district. Does that affect therapy?
Not at all. Sessions happen in your home, so recreation agencies are never part of the plan. When a family wants to practice outside, the Village's own parks, Homer Township sites, and Forest Preserve District of Will County land give us plenty to work with.
