Philosophy
 

Helping individuals with disabilities grow and learn through choice, experience, responsibility and relationships 

Kim and Bree share a hug and give big smiles.CIF’s product and service models are based on the belief that all individuals have the capacity to learn and evolve.

Our models emphasize choice: an indvidual's right to make decisions based on his or her hopes and dreams.

We believe individuals learn best through experience: the opportunity to see, taste, touch, hear, feel or try something firsthand.

Our products and services encourage responsibility: the right to have ownership of one's ideas, actions and choices.

Most importantly, CIF's work is grounded in relationships: the ties and connections, whether familial, professional or personal, that strengthen and sustain us. 

CIF creates opportunities for individuals to access choice, experience, responsibility and relationships through their own process. Our goal is for each individual to reach his or her greatest potential and become a contributing member of our society.
