“Living at the Center of Family Love changed me to be more confident. Being able to talk to everybody would’ve been extremely hard at one time. Now I’ve got that confidence built in my head, mind and soul.”
-Tanner, CFL Resident
CFL History
Our story began in the 1970s when a group of passionate individuals- parents and members of the Knights of Columbus- recognized the need for a safe haven where their children could receive the support, understanding and acceptance they were deserving of.
CFL Future
We invite you to embark on this journey of advocacy and development with us as we establish a state-of-the-art learning institute, Oklahoma Institute for Cognitive Development, that develops the strengths, dreams and goals of its members.
CFL Mission
To cultivate a nurturing environment where individuals with IDD and neurodivergence can flourish and lead fulfilling lives. We firmly believe that each person and their strengths and abilities are waiting to be discovered, utilized and celebrated.
