The Center for Independence is a Chicago-area organization focused on helping children and young adults with disabilities achieve greater independence across home, school, community, and work settings. Its programs emphasize life skills and motor function development through a transdisciplinary approach involving physical and occupational therapy and conductive education, aiming to build self-direction, confidence, and an ‘I Can!’ mindset. In addition to intensive training, the center operates an employment-focused initiative, Teaching Together Chicago, which provides job training and paid internship opportunities for adults with disabilities in faith-based schools, to support workforce integration. Established in 1998 and serving a broad audience across multiple Chicagoland locations, the organization aligns with the broader field of individual and family services by combining therapeutic services with work-readiness and placement support.
