SUPPORT & ADVOCACY

We Help You Navigate the System

If you live with an intellectual disability or if you know someone with an intellectual disability and need support or advocacy the SACL can help. We don’t have a formal intake process, and will work with anyone regardless of what the intellectual disability may be. We do not require a diagnosis, have a specific IQ requirement, or need to have a referral. We are contracted by the Ministry of Social Services to provide advocacy service for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families.

Need Support?

Our Community Inclusion Consultants Can Help.

*Note: All staff at the SACL have had criminal records checks including the vulnerable sector check. The SACL provides all of our support based on best practices in Inclusion and on SACL's Statements of Belief and Positions on Social Issues. 

The SACL's Community Inclusion Consultants provide support by helping you to navigate systems. These can be government systems, non-profit programs, or privately owned businesses. Our consultants can research policies and procedures within those systems and will help you to understand what everyone’s responsibilities, obligations, and limitations are.
