About Center of Family Love
Since its founding in 1981, the Center of Family Love (CFL) has been a pioneering force in empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities—including those who are adults with intellectual and physical disabilities—to live lives of purpose, dignity, and fulfillment. Headquartered in Oklahoma, CFL provides comprehensive residential and vocational programs that focus on long-term growth, independence, and meaningful community engagement.
With over four decades of experience, CFL has combined compassionate care with evidence-based practices to deliver quality, lifetime support tailored to each individual’s unique abilities and potential. The organization serves individuals with a wide range of developmental disabilities, including autism, offering opportunities for continuous learning, skill development, and career exploration in a nurturing environment.
At its core, the Center of Family Love is driven by the belief that every person deserves the chance to thrive, contribute, and celebrate their abilities. Through innovative programming, a dedicated staff, and strong community partnerships, CFL continues to break barriers and redefine what’s possible for individuals who are too often underserved or overlooked.
As CFL looks to the future, its mission remains steadfast: to transform lives, empower families, and build inclusive pathways that support every stage of life—from early adulthood through aging—with love, respect, and purpose.
