Youth transition services and employment readiness go hand in hand.

When young people with disabilities have access to skill-building, career exploration, and real-world experiences, they’re better equipped to move confidently into adulthood and the workforce.

At CIL Central Florida, we believe the future of disability inclusion is built through preparation, opportunity, and support…one step at a time.

The future of independence starts today.

When opportunity meets support, independence follows.
Every pathway we build today helps create a stronger, more inclusive tomorrow for people with disabilities across Central Florida through access to employment, education, independent living, and meaningful community connection at CIL Central Florida.

Independence looks different for everyone.

For some, it’s landing a first job.

For others, it’s living independently, building confidence, or having a voice in their community.

What does independence mean to you or to someone you care about?

Consumer Spotlight: Meet Charlene

Charlene is a mother of seven whose life once felt overwhelming...long workdays, endless appointments, and the constant pressure of making sure her children had what they needed. Like many parents, she was carrying everything on her own and feeling burned out.

That’s when Charlene was connected to CIL and our Family Disability Navigator (FDN) Program. With personalized support, she gained help coordinating medical appointments, securing proper medications, and receiving an autism diagnosis for her son, something she had been trying to accomplish for years. She’s now also working toward getting support and answers for her eldest daughter.

Through guidance, structure, and advocacy, Charlene says she feels more confident moving forward, not just surviving day to day, but setting her children up for success in adulthood.

As we celebrate 50 years of impact, stories like Charlene’s remind us why individualized support matters.
