***
At Kibu, we’re proud to support organizations that believe adults with disabilities deserve dignity, engaging education, and meaningful routines. Inspire Central Florida, a nonprofit based in a smaller Florida county, has become a powerful example of how intentional programming and the right tools can create structure, independence, and joy!
We spoke with **Kennedi Martin** (Admin), **Alethea Breidenbaugh** (Life Skills DSP), and **Vincent Maltoni** (Vocational Team Lead) to hear how Inspire has woven Kibu into its daily schedule—and how they’re thinking big about what’s next.

## 👀 Discovering Kibu
When Kennedi joined Inspire last August, she took on the challenge of revamping their life skills curriculum. Like many in the field, she cobbled together lessons from Teachers Pay Teachers and YouTube. But most content was designed for kids—too childish in tone and visuals.
“When Kibu reached out, we were thrilled,” Kennedi said. “The skills were age-appropriate, the visuals were dignified, and our participants really responded to that.”

## ⭐ Life Skills With Dignity
Alethea, who leads a life skills classroom, says Kibu has become an integral part of her day. They run four classes daily, covering topics like nutrition, emotional regulation, and boundaries. Kibu videos are used across the board.
“We used a Kibu class on **nutrition** recently and paused throughout for discussion. Our members *really* got it,” Alethea said. “They love the participation parts: true/false questions, counting exercises, and movement breaks.”
One standout moment came during a seated dance workout. “I have one individual who *loves* the dance videos,” Alethea shared. “Anytime the TV comes on, they ask, ‘Are we dancing today?’ It’s become a daily highlight.”
Chair yoga and deep breathing have also become part of their wellness routine. “These are real tools that engage them without feeling childish. That makes all the difference.”

## 👔 Flexible Support for Vocational Programs
Vincent has been with Inspire for three years, leading their vocational program where members gain real-world experience.
Vincent’s group learns best through conversation and structure, so he relies exclusively on Kibu’s **lesson plans**. “The prompting questions are awesome,” he said. “They give us the tools to guide real discussion without needing to spend hours designing curriculum.”
Life Skills & Job Development classes come with free Lesson Plan PDFs to guide your staff
While Vincent doesn’t often use the videos, he appreciates the PDF resource, and how they can be tailored to different teaching styles. “Not everyone learns the same way. Kibu lets us meet our people where they are.”

## 💡 Ideas for the Future
Inspire’s team has a thoughtful list of content they’d love to see in future Kibu drops:
* **Advocacy & Rights Education**: Required by the state but hard to teach in a way that’s clear, respectful, and engaging.
* **Boundaries**: Especially the nuanced difference between family, friend, and workplace boundaries.
* **Emotional Regulation**: A topic that’s constantly revisited—fresh content is always welcome.
***
## 🤝 A Shared Vision
Looking ahead, Inspire is excited about how Kibu continues to evolve—especially with new AI-powered tools.
“I’m planning a boundaries unit right now,” Kennedi said. “Finding an age-appropriate short story on boundaries is *impossible*. The idea that Kibu can generate one for me? That’s huge.”
She’s also eager to test Kibu’s **Jeopardy** generator. “We run trivia all the time. If I can type in a theme and get a ready-made game tied to our daily lessons—math, science, workplace skills—it will save me hours.”
From AI-generated stories to customizable games, Kibu’s tools are built to serve the unique needs of programs like Inspire. And with more content on the way—like advocacy, rights education, and nuanced lessons on boundaries and emotional regulation—we’re just getting started.
