Tiffany Clifford has dedicated 43 years to advancing independent living and creating greater opportunities for people with disabilities . Her path to this work began shortly after high school, influenced in part by her aunt, who had Down Syndrome. Her aunt had been institutionalized as a child but later moved into the community, where she was able to work and live with the supports and opportunities that allowed her to build a life of her own. Seeing that transformation sparked Tiffany's interest in working with people with disabilities and shaped her understanding of what is possible when people are given the opportunity to live in their communities.
Tiffany pursued her education at the University of North Florida, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Education with an emphasis on intellectual, behavioral, and learning disabilities. After college, she taught middle school, but quickly recognized that her strengths were less in the day-to-day classroom and more in planning, program development, and figuring out how to create effective ways for people to learn and succeed.
That realization led to an opportunity as Program Director for a nonprofit community living program serving young adults with sensory disabilities. It was there that Tiffany was introduced to the philosophy of independent living and developed a deeper understanding of the importance of access, choice, self-determination, and full participation in community life. She found a professional philosophy that aligned with what she had first observed through her aunt's experience.
