An IL 501(c)3 dedicated to helping children & young adults with disabilities reach their potential.

The mission of the Center for Independence is to help children and young adults with disabilities achieve their highest level of independence in the home, school, community and workforce. We provide therapy programs that develop life skills and motor function in a manner that promotes positive self-reliance, self-esteem and an “I Can!” attitude. Committed to breaking down barriers to the workforce, the Center also provides job linkage and placement for young adults with disabilities through our innovative program, Working Together Chicago.

Continuing to celebrate OT Awareness month, with a OT focused Case Study ✨

At CFI, progress is driven by purposeful intervention! 3 months attending Conductive Education-Intensive Therapy, measurable gains were noted with feeding, dressing, motor planning and daily function—reinforcing the impact of consistent individualized and peer driven intervention! 💙💚

Thank you Mental Health Commission of Lyons Township for including us in this initiative!

This April, the LTMHC is recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month. 💙

Seen here is a photo shared from the Center for Independence in Countryside. Executive Director, Josephine Boggs, has painted one nail blue to represent 1 in 5 children who will experience abuse—children who deserve love, safety, and protection.

We all have a role to play. By raising awareness and supporting families, we can help break the cycle and build a future where every child feels safe and cared for.

It’s your turn - paint one nail blue and tag the Lyons Township Mental Health Commission.

April is Occupational Therapy Awareness Month! 💙

This month, we celebrate the incredible impact of occupational therapists who help individuals build the skills they need for everyday life. From fostering independence to supporting meaningful participation in daily activities, OT makes a differnce in ways both big and small.

We are proud of our dedicated OT team and the compassionate, creative care they provide to the children and families we serve every day.

Join us in recognizing and celebrating the power of Occupational Therapy! 🌟
