Join us at "Empowering Independence: Celebrating the ADA" hosted by the Center for Independent Living in Central Florida. As we mark the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we invite you to delve into the rich tapestry of the independent living movement and its profound impact on our community.
"Empowering Independence" reflects more than just an event; it's an immersive experience designed to educate and inspire, beginning with workshops that will increase your understanding of disability.
Then, participants will hear a presentation covering the history of the independent living movement and honoring CIL's founder, Beverly Chapman, and a panel discussing barriers towards disability inclusion and methods to break them.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the barriers that exist and the resiliency required to overcome them. We aim to foster empathy, promote inclusivity, and ignite conversations that lead to meaningful change.
Whether you're a community member, advocate, educator, or ally, "Empowering Independence" offers something for everyone.
Join CIL on Friday, July 26th from 1-2:30pm as we celebrate progress, honor the spirit of the ADA, and chart a course towards a more accessible and inclusive future for all.
