To enrich the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by creating and supporting programs that contribute to their physical, social, and mental well-being.

Our Mission

JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE, person with disabilities wants to be independent.

And just like everyone else, persons with disabilities need opportunities to learn and grow throughout adulthood.

As family members, guardians and friends of individuals served by Life Centers of Kansas, we actively pursue and support those activities that enhance the quality of life experienced by our loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities

As a nonprofit organization, we work with the clients and staff of Life Centers (a residential and day service provider in Johnson County KS) offering programs that encourage the development of positive group home experiences, create opportunities for involvement in community events, offer financial assistance and work opportunities through our Friends and Family food pantry, and recognize outstanding staff members for their efforts to improve the lives of our loved ones.

Our organization provides education and information for families of Life Center clients regarding health issues, financial planning, guardianship plans, and advocacy skills. We believe that families deserve care and support. Their influence is on-going and essential to the health and well-being of their special needs family member.

The Friends and Family organization is governed by a nine-member volunteer Board of Directors. All Directors are family members and/or guardians of a special needs adult receiving services from Life Centers of Kansas.

Art Therapy using iPads

Ten iPads were purchased by FFLCKS for the day service. They arrived just after Thanksgiving. One of the goals of having iPads available for at LCKS Day Service is to develop a Day Service publication staffed by clients.

The other purpose of the iPads is for art therapy. A technology expert has been hired to instruct clients how to use the iPads and to teach them about internet safety.
