Education
Our organization has been a key driver in building a globally recognized inclusive education system in the province. Through advocacy and support to parents, educator and administrator training, on-site consultation, and classroom presentations, we work to ensure children with an intellectual or developmental disability are included in educational and social opportunities in their neighbourhood school.
Mental Health
Within the past decade there have been many changes in the health care field regarding individuals living with a dual diagnosis of mental health and intellectual or developmental disability. Specialized caregivers and support workers provide services, for the most part. However, there may be times when family members and volunteers step in to provide support and guidance to an individual who has an intellectual or developmental disability and a mental health concern.
