How We Work

Peer relationships (people with disabilities assisting others with disabilities) are the basis of what we do at CFI. People work with each other by being mentors, role models and advocates.

Our Philosophy

CFI is governed by people with disabilities and upholds the independent living philosophy that people with disabilities have the right to live their lives independently and with dignity to their fullest potential.

CFI provides information to individuals and businesses about the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA), accessibility guidelines, and other technical assistance.

Our Board of Directors and Staff are comprised of 51% or more people with disabilities, which gives our Center an insight in the design and delivery of our services.
