MyCIL Center For Independent Living

MyCIL — Your Center for Independent Living. This empowerment gives more control over their lives.

Empowering people with disabilities to live independently and thrive in their communities. 💙
Home of the Transitional Skills Center & ACES$ Financial Management Services serving Self-Directed programs. Persons with disabilities want to decide how to live their lives, determine what supports they need, and how to consume their resources within their own means, just the same as anyone in the general population does. Independent Living gives adults with disabilities and families of children with disabilities more control over their budgets and how their resources are consumed. These individuals will experience more freedom and choice, resulting in a better quality of life. The ability to select their own Caregivers with the expectation of satisfactory performance on their part.

🎉 **Shout out to our amazing Independent Living & Self-Advocacy Specialist, Sara Wolff!** 🎉

We want to take a moment to recognize Sara for all she does to support our community! Sara brings passion, expertise, and lived experience to her role every day - empowering people with disabilities to live independently, make their own choices, and access resources that help them thrive. 💪💙

One powerful tool Sara often shares with folks is PA ABLE - the Pennsylvania Achieving a Better Life Experience savings program. PA ABLE gives people with disabilities a tax-advantaged way to save money without losing eligibility for important benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Starting this year, more Pennsylvanians are eligible and can save up to $19,000 a year in a PA ABLE account for things like housing, transportation, education, and more - all while maintaining critical benefits.

💬 Want to learn more?
✨ Reach out to Sara and the rest of the MyCIL Independent Living team - they’re happy to talk with you about what PA ABLE is, how it could help you or your loved ones, and answer your questions. They can also connect you with other supports, services, and opportunities to help you live more independently. Website: www.mycil.org Email: info@mycil.org Phone: 570-344-7211

📞 You can also contact the state’s PA ABLE team directly via www.paable.gov, Email: info@paable.gov, or Phone: 1-855-529-ABLE (2253).

Let’s celebrate Sara and the resources that help build confidence, independence, and financial security! 💛👏

Here’s a short, upbeat reel description:

**Busy weeks, big smiles 🎄✨**
Leading up to the 2025 TSC Winter Festival, students baked, built, and crafted with creativity and teamwork—from giant gingerbread houses to handmade cookies and décor. They danced, problem-solved, made new friends, and celebrated the season together!

12/22/2025

🎄🌲☃️❄️The 2025 TSC Winter Festival was held on Wednesday but students were busy busy busy in the weeks leading up to the event! 🎄🌲☃️❄️

In vocational workshop they created handmade decorations for designing super-sized gingerbread houses. They beamed with pride to include others through creativity, teamwork, and collaboration.

Homemade sugar cookies were baked and decorated from scratch. Students twisted, tied, and crafted colorful wreaths, centerpieces, and candle holders. They were excited to design their own sentimental decor and goods for seasonal gift giving.

Students mingled with friends and made new ones to problem solve larger than life word searches when they weren't dancing the day away to personalized playlists of their favorite music for celebrating.

Our Story

MyCIL — our Center for Independent Living in Scranton, PA — helps people with disabilities live independently. Through ACES$ Financial Management Services, we provide Client-first payroll management.

Our Disability Help

We empower people with disabilities to achieve living independent goals through our five core services:

Advocacy – We advocate for independent living, rights and benefits, resolution of individual problems and better access to society.

Skills Training – Our individualized training concentrates on daily living, helping people with disabilities achieve economic and social independence.

Information and Referral – We are a knowledge base for people with disabilities, providing key resources that range from communication aids and architectural accessibility to housing and civil rights.

Peer Consultation – Our skilled advisors who have a disability help others with disabilities set and reach their independent living goals.

Transitional Services – At our state-of-the-art Transitional Skills Center, we help young people with disabilities — ages 14-21 — develop the skills they need to pursue additional education after high school, enter the workforce or achieve independent living.

ACES$ Financial Management Services

Through ACES$, we also offer payroll management services. In states throughout the country, we serve as a payroll provider for Clients on certain Medicaid Home and Community Based Services waivers.

When Clients hire their own attendants to provide services, they become the Employer of their attendants. That means Clients are responsible for processing timesheets, withholding and filing taxes, and more. As their fiscal agent, we take care of everything payroll related so they can focus on living their best lives.

What really sets us apart is the fact we are a fiscal agent that’s also a non-profit. In fact, we are the largest non-profit payroll provider in the country. As a Center for Independent Living, over 51% of our team has a disability. We know firsthand what it’s like.

The Transitional Skills Center (TSC)

The TSC focuses on independent living for young adults. At our state-of-the-art facility, we teach independent living skills for teens and young adults — ages 14-21 — that help them achieve their life goals. The TSC features simulated life settings, a research-backed curriculum, and customized program for developing practical life skills.

As part of the Center for Independent Living in Scranton PA, the TSC helps teens and young adults achieve their unique goals, whether that’s:

· Competitive, Integrated Employment

· Post-secondary Education

· Independent Living

Students progress through a series of activities designed for their abilities and goals. The key is building on the skills they developed.

The program offers flexibility and on-going growth, customized for each student. At the end of the program, students have the soft skills they need to get and keep employment. They also have a clearer insight into their future career options.

We can be independent when we do it together.
