Information and resources

 

We provide comprehensive materials for a variety of audiences. One of the most common requests for information comes from new parents who have just learned their infant or young child has an intellectual disability. Each information package is carefully tailored to meet the sometimes sensitive needs of the request. Single packages are free of charge.

The Current: This newsletter is an aptly named in-house information periodical that is intended for SACL members who want to keep abreast of Association news, activities, events and meetings. For a current copy, contact the SACL at (306) 955-3344, fax (306) 373-3070 or email: [email protected].

The SACL publishes a number of in-house resources; many are free, others are for sale, and all are available by contacting the SACL, 3031 Louise Street, Saskatoon, SK, S7J 3L1. The SACL also offers for sale a number of books from publishers like the Roeher Institute, Inclusion Press, Diverse City Press, Brookes Publishing, Woodbine House and others.
