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.
Individual Support
The work of the Inclusion Consultant is incredibly varied and differs from person to person. We can't provide a fully comprehensive list of everything we do, but this list should provide some insight into the work that we typically do:
-
Help clearly identify issues or problems.
-
Attend meetings.
-
Provide research on rights, policies, procedures, options, programs, etc.
-
Navigate appeals.
-
Provide information about community programs and resources
-
Ensure you are being valued, supported and included.
