The Center for Independence through Conductive Education, Inc. is an Illinois 501 c 3 nonprofit committed to ensuring children and young adults with physical disabilities grow up to be healthy, independent, self-determined, fully participating members of the community. We accomplish our mission by providing intensive training programs that focus on improving life skills, self-care skills, work readiness, self-direction and self-advocacy. The ultimate program goal is for the person with a physical disability to develop “ortho-function”, which is the ability to participate in school, the community and the workplace with minimal modifications.
