About
Center For Independent Futures was established in 2002 by Kay Branz and Jane Doyle to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in living out their hopes and dreams. The practice partners with individuals to achieve their goals of living full, independent lives through person-centered coaching, innovative educational programs, housing options, and inclusive community-building. They create opportunities for lifelong learning, self-determination, equity, and meaningful connections, fostering environments where all individuals can thrive and belong. Center For Independent Futures supports over a hundred individuals throughout the Chicagoland area and consults nationwide with other agencies focused on person-centered planning. Their person-centered planning takes into account an individual's hopes and dreams, creating learning goals based on the Full Life Model. Life Skills Coaches use My Full Life to support individuals in creating their individual goals and developing the skills they need to achieve their dreams.
