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.

🧠💼 Different Minds. Valuable Talents. Stronger Workplaces.

There's no single way to think, learn, communicate, or solve problems - and that's a strength.

Neurodivergent employees bring diverse perspectives, creativity, analytical thinking, and valuable skills to the workplace.

During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we're recognizing the importance of workplaces that embrace different ways of thinking and working.

That means looking beyond traditional hiring practices, providing accommodations when needed, and creating environments where individuals can use their strengths.

💙 The goal isn't to make everyone work the same way. It's to create workplaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

📚♿ Nearly 1 in 5 public school students have an IEP or 504 plan.

That's a powerful reminder of just how important accessibility, accommodations, and individualized support are in education.

Every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in an environment that recognizes their strengths and meets their needs.

At MyCIL, we believe building independence starts early. When students have the tools, support, and opportunities to advocate for themselves, we're helping lay the foundation for greater independence and choice throughout their lives.

💙 Inclusion isn't about giving everyone the same thing. It's about ensuring everyone has what they need to succeed.

💼♿ Ability Is Everywhere. Opportunity Should Be, Too.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to recognize the talents, contributions, and value people with disabilities bring to our workplaces.

But meaningful inclusion goes beyond hiring.

It means creating accessible workplaces, providing reasonable accommodations, offering opportunities for advancement, and recognizing the unique strengths every employee brings.

At MyCIL, we believe employment is about more than earning a paycheck. It's about independence, financial security, community participation, and having greater control over your future.

💙 Inclusion isn't just about opening doors. It's about ensuring everyone has the opportunity to succeed once they're inside.

Want to make your workplace more accessible and inclusive? MyCIL's Independent Living team can help! From ADA compliance guidance and accessibility assessments to disability awareness, sensitivity, and inclusion training, we provide practical tools to help organizations identify barriers and create more welcoming environments for everyone.

Celebrating Value and Talent

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!

This year’s theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” recognizes something we see every day: people with disabilities bring skills, perspectives, experience and talent to workplaces and communities across Pennsylvania Department of Labor.

At MyCIL, we believe employment is about more than earning a paycheck. Meaningful work can be an important part of independence - creating opportunities to build skills, make connections, contribute to your community and pursue your own goals.

This month, we’ll be celebrating the talents of people with disabilities while highlighting the supports, experiences and opportunities that can help turn career goals into reality.
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity should be, too.

💛 We were thrilled to host PGA TOUR professional and Northeast Pennsylvania native Brandon Matthews and his wife, Danielle, at MyCIL!

It was wonderful to welcome them to our Transitional Skills Center, introduce them to some of our students, and show them firsthand the impact their support is helping make.

As a proud beneficiary of the NEPA Invitational and Harmony for Hope, we’re incredibly grateful for Brandon and Danielle’s commitment to giving back to children and families throughout our NEPA community.

Thank you both for spending time with us and supporting the work happening at MyCIL! 💙
