Chamber Helps Disabled Across Florida | Florida Disability Attorney

Orlando is known for its sunny beaches and theme park attractions.  A group of concerned citizens have been working hard to make the city disability friendly as well.  The Chamber of Commerce for Persons with Disabilities, Inc. was formed two years ago by a local attorney.  Now the Chamber is hoping to expand nationwide.

The board wants the Chamber to be a place where people with disabilities come to network and get help with entrepreneurial endeavors.

One hurdle that disabled business owner's face is that their disability benefits often stop while they are still working on growing a successful business. 

"The end result is to get off (Social Security) disability," said Rouge Gallart, president of the Central Florida Disability Chamber. "But while they're building their business, they may need services."

Robby Sedlak has a spinal cord injury and uses a wheelchair.  However, his injury did not stop him from starting a concrete pumping business. 

"It's something that I want to do for myself," said Sedlak. "There's so many other open opportunities out there, and I just don't know how to get them."

Sedlak is currently working with the Chamber to create a business plan.  The plan should help him map out his company's strategy for growth.

The Chamber is gaining in popularity and attention, something that can only help disabled people in Florida and around the country.
