Abstract
Abstract. A primary function of centers for independent living is to empower individuals with disabilities and to support greater
independence. These functions overlap with the purpose of transition planning for youth with disabilities, and it is increasingly
evident that CILs can play an important role in such transition services. This article discusses the potential role of CILs in
transition services for youth with disabilities, particularly in promoting self-determination, and provides an example of a program
that CILs could replicate to achieve such outcomes.
