When parents have a child with disabilities, they are plunged into an unfamiliar world without a sense of what to do next and no way forward. They often have overwhelming anxiety about the future. How will education work? Will he ever have a job? Will she ever have friends? Will they go to school, live alone, and someday get married?
Every day, families reach out to Center for Independent Futures (CIF) to get answers where seemingly, none exist, leaving them filled with uncertainty and fear.
They turn to us because of CIF’s 20 years of firsthand experience in supporting individuals with disabilities by providing:
• Person-centered life-skills coaching
• Community-based supported housing
• Community-building activities
• School and agency consulting services
