Need Employment and Transition Support?
Fill Out Our Support Request Form.
If you live with an intellectual disability or if you know someone with an intellectual disability and need employment or transition support, Inclusion Saskatchewan may be able to help. We can 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 Immigration & Career Training to provide employment and transition services for people with intellectual disabilities.

Who We Support
At Inclusion Saskatchewan we use the term intellectual disability, which is in alignment with our national partner, Inclusion Canada. We use intellectual disability as an umbrella term and support people with clinical diagnoses of intellectual and developmental disabilities, and also support people who identify as neurodivergent. This means that we support autistic people as well as people with FASD and ADHD. We may have limitations on how much support we can provide based on the funding we receive and the resources available to people in the community.
Student & Adult Employment
Inclusion Saskatchewan helps people find real work for real pay. ETFs support people in their search for employment by:
• Working with employers and providing information on disability.
• Offering practical tools to help people create a successful bridge to employment.
• Acting as a liaison for funding for job coaching or other disability-related costs.
• Helping people obtain training to realize their employment goals.
• Providing job maintenance support when necessary.

Inclusion Saskatchewan helps students transition out of high school and into adult life. We start the transition planning process as early as age 15 and advise students and their support teams on how to navigate life transitions, make referrals and connections to other community-based organizations, and provide tools and resources for transition planning.
