CFI works together with participants to achieve independent living goals such as self-advocacy, self-sufficiency, and self-determination.
Our Brief
The Center for Independence provides resources and services that promote empowerment, inclusion, and wellness of all persons with disabilities. To work towards this, CFI works one-on-one with individuals to provide independent living skills training on various topics such as budgeting, organizational & communication skills, learning how to get around the community independently, and more. To ensure their online information and services were accessible, inclusive, and customizable for everyone, they sought a solution that would allow all web users to access the information and services offered through their website without barriers.
