The Florida Center for Inclusive Communities' efforts are aligned with the Developmental Disabilities Act whereby individuals with developmental disabilities are mandated to have the right "to live independently, to exert control and choice over their own lives, and to fully participate in and contribute to their communities through full integration and inclusion in the economic, political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of United States society."

As a result, the efforts of the FCIC focus on individuals with developmental disabilities achieving full integration and inclusion in society. In this section, we offer information about our community supports initiatives and resources focused on Florida's community supports and services.
