Wheaton Patch did a shout out on Easter Sunday to Special Needs Chicago, a local business that arranges non-emergency transportation services to the elderly and to individuals that have physical and/or cognitive challenges. Mary Ann Lopez filed the report.
Michelle Dacy owns this worthwhile organization that is located in Wheaton, Illinois. Dacy founded her company last year although she has been coordinating transportation for more than 10 years for the individuals that require a bit of extra assistance. She originally devised the plan because, she, too, has a child with special needs. The company behooved her situation and gave her a means to support her family.
With the number of children being diagnosed with disabilities, services like Special Needs Chicago will be in greater need of transportation for those that require wheelchairs or other accoutrements. Dacy just happens to be perfect for her job because she has personally experienced what other parents and caregivers go through when there is no service for their loved ones. When an individual is meant to do a specific job, they know to count their blessings.
The business affords non-emergency transportation to senior citizens and individuals with physical and cognitive challenges. They take them to medical appointments and social engagements; everywhere they need and want to go. Some of the other places that have transported to include:
· Physical therapy and rehabilitation

Their service is available 24/7 throughout Chicagoland. As an extension to their wonderful service, Special Needs Chicago offers nationwide companion calls for those that are in need of a friendly voice.
Those that work with people in need discover that there is truly something special about them. It is good to understand that they have humor and undeniable character on their side. Although the service that is provided is very serious and extremely important, it can also be a lot of fun and equally beneficial to the individual providing the service.
The ride that Special Needs Chicago gives may be with a handicapped van, mini-bus, sedan or even equipped medicars. No matter the mode, the ride will prove to be relaxing; delivering you or your loved-ones door-to-door.
